Has a lot of cool features, but the background CPU usage for it was just too much of a trade off. Pretty much a constant 2-22% drain on an M4 Max.

I like it. You can reduce the sidebar and first of all you can keep some features without hiding everything. To conclude it's 100% free and open source !
Open source, prestine and works. 6/10 Can't believe people pay for software like this.
Laughable people pay for bartender when this exists
Free and open source, actively developed. It allows a split menu bar, and has a secondary floating bar coming soon to support notch macbooks,
New open source app for working with menuapp bar. So far, there is no solution similar to bartender, ibar or barbee to work around problems with notch
Very promising app. Sonoma and above only. It's nice to see development for menubar items since other FOSS options have been static for a while.
