Key Features

01

Three Sections

Sort every menu bar item into Visible, Hidden, or Always-Hidden. Click the iobar icon to show or hide the Hidden section, and Option-click for Always-Hidden.

02

Built for macOS 27

Hidden items are concealed through macOS 27's own menu bar mechanism instead of spacer tricks, so the bar stays tidy and apps keep running normally.

03

Hidden-Items Bar

Keep hidden items out of the menu bar and open them in a Liquid Glass bar right under the icon. Click an item there and its menu opens as usual.

04

Layout Editor

Drag items between sections in Settings, or Command-drag them across the iobar icon on the menu bar itself. The layout is saved and survives app relaunches.

05

Global Shortcuts

Record your own shortcuts to toggle the Hidden and Always-Hidden sections from anywhere, with a warning if macOS already uses the combination.

06

Your Icon, Your Look

Pick one of several icons or use your own image, and tune the hidden-items bar's spacing, darkness, and transparency. Launch at login keeps it ready.
