How to Hide Menu Bar Icons on Your Mac

Are you tired of having too many icons cluttering up your Mac's menu bar? Look no further than Bartender 5, a powerful utility that helps you declutter your menu bar by putting an extra bar below it.

To access the preferences window, simply click on the app's icon in the menu bar and then click on the vertical bar. From here, you can move icons in your menu bar by holding cmd and clicking on an icon, then dragging it to a new location. The preferences window even shows you how to hide your menu bar icons using the app.

One of the key features of Bartender is its ability to help you hide almost all information from the menu bar if you want. This includes username, Notification Center, Spotlight, WiFi, and Bluetooth. You can also choose which apps are displayed in the menu bar and which are not.

To set up Bartender, simply download and install it from the App Store or use Homebrew to install Hidden Bar via brew install -cask hiddenbar. Once installed, you can enable or disable settings and set a global shortcut for easy access.

One thing to note is that Bartender 5 only works on macOS Sonoma due to internal changes in macOS. Additionally, it's an ultra-light, free, and open-source utility that helps hide menu bar icons. However, it doesn't seem to be under active development anymore.

To get started with Bartender, sign up and download the Setapp app on your Mac. From there, you can customize your menu bar icons to suit your preferences.

Whether you prefer to have your dock icon or menu bar icon, Bartender gives you the flexibility to choose what's most important for you. With its easy-to-use interface and powerful features, Bartender 5 is a must-have utility for any Mac user looking to declutter their menu bar.
