Bartender7.0.5

Hide, reveal, search, and rearrange Mac menu bar icons so that only the items you need remain visible. Bartender 7.0.1 gives users control over which menu bar items appear and when, helping keep crowded bars tidy without interrupting work with the mouse. Quick Reveal, custom hotkeys, search, and triggers provide fast access to hidden controls. Automation can show the battery when a Mac is unplugged, a VPN on public Wi-Fi, or a microphone control during meetings.

Keyboard search can find and activate any menu bar item, with clipboard history available alongside those commands. Bartender also works without Screen Recording permission, displaying application icons instead of images of the menu bar items. Its redesigned Bartender Bar can appear on hover, click, or a hotkey, be placed where desired, and use an independent Liquid Glass theme with glass, color, gradients, rounded bars, or solid styling.

Items obscured by a Mac’s notch can be hidden automatically, restored by click or hotkey, or moved into the Bartender Bar without rearranging the main bar. Profiles replace the entire menu bar instantly and can be switched with a hotkey, triggered automatically, or linked to display setups such as work, gaming, or travel. Built-in automation also connects with Shortcuts, AppleScript, Siri, hotkeys, and agents for broader menu bar control.

Bartender runs on macOS 14 Sonoma or later on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. It is freeware, and the developer offers a four-week unlimited trial with an upgrade discount.
