What is Vanilla?
Vanilla is a no-cost, user-friendly application designed specifically for Mac systems, with the primary function of concealing menu bar icons. Once downloaded and initiated, the application guides users through a straightforward process to set up and start using its features.
The premium version, Vanilla Pro, offers advanced features for tech-savvy users looking to fully personalize their Mac menu bar. One of these features includes the ability to establish a unique keyboard shortcut for toggling menu bar and desktop icons. Additionally, Vanilla Pro provides a "Completely Removed" icons section, where icons are only visible upon accessing Vanilla's preference settings.
Vanilla also offers an auto-hide feature that conceals icons five seconds after they have been toggled in the application. Furthermore, users can set Vanilla to launch automatically upon logging into their Mac, ensuring seamless integration into daily use.

Comments and Reviews
I love it. Had some glitches with fullscreen apps
Vanilla doesn't actually remove items from the menu bar, it simply puts something on top of the icons and moves them to the left-most part. This causes issues when showing/hiding the menu bar while in a full-screen app. It also makes it so the app's menu items get obscured by the 'hidden' area, obscuring some menu options for the app you are currently in.
I do not recommend this app.
Doesn't really work, and requires a paid version to start automatically.
Not work if you set menu bar to hide automatically.
