I use Bartender[1] for ~the same purpose. I love the idea of a minimal menu bar there's just too much stuff I might want to check occasionally.
So Bartender just shows me my time tracker (important for client work), Fantastical (I could probably ditch this) and battery status; everything else is in the hidden Bartender draw until I need it. Just one hotkey away - I bind it to Hyper-B[2]

- okor 12y agoYeah, that's a great alternative. Thanks for mentioning.
- gorekee 12y agoA great feature of bartender is the default "5 second rule" [1] [1] http://macsparky.com/blog/2014/7/bartenders-5-second-rule http://macsparky.com/blog/2014/7/bartenders-5-second-rule
- mitchty 12y agoI love bartender, also love the ability for it to show stuff if the icon changes for a certain time. Say weather app stuff, it can stay hidden, but if the weather changes might as well stay up there a minute or two then go away again. Another app I love is Spirited Away, which will auto command-h an app after a certain period of inactivity. Can disable it as well but its an interesting way of keeping windows hidden.
