I couldn't get always hidden to work.
However, I think Hidden Bar is still the best of all the menu icon apps I've tried for the main reason that when it isn't in use, its CPU use 0% and it only eats 60MB of ram. Whereas all the other ones I tried used constant CPU and generally much more ram.

Main complaint is that if you're on a MacBook with a notch. icons will reach a point where they will begin to stop displaying and hide beneath the notch where you cannot access them. Other than that it's a good app but this one oversight could be a dealbreaker.
Great FOSS alternative to Bartender and even available in the macOS App Store (or via GitHub).
It doesn't seem to be working on Ventura anymore - the arrow icon opens the app instead of hiding/unhiding.
I wish it would default to put apps in front instead of hide but hey everything else is perfect for menu bar management.
it is simple and does what is says. also very fast
Works on my M1 mac
