I wish I had space for more menu bar icons. Or let me rephrase it, I wish OSX would allow me to manage them myself. I don't get how it's not an out of the box feature, considering every single app likes to put an icon there (however useless it may be) and that we have limited estate there with the macbook bumps.
- rafram 3y agoWhat do you mean “manage them myself”? You can Cmd-drag the icons to move or remove them.
- rplnt 3y agoHow do I remove them? When I was searching for this (few years back) I only found 3rd party applications.
- TheUnhinged 3y agoCmd-Click and, while holding Cmd, drag the icon down away from the menubar.
- rplnt 3y agoI tried that, didn't work. Now tried it with multiple icons, thinking it might have been the application forcing it, but same result for all that I've tried. And I'm also wondering how would I get it back after?
- chrisvander 3y agoBartender (https://www.macbartender.com https://www.macbartender.com) is my go-to. Been using it for many years.
- dtgriscom 3y agoI jumped into using Bartender when I got a new Macbook with the camera notch. I'd been dealing with some apps on narrower screens having menus that hid the leftmost menubar icons, but the notch sealed the deal. Bartender just works. Recommended highly.
