    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.
