menu bar manager

Barred

Your menu bar, under control. Hide icons you don’t need, reorder the ones you do, keep things clean.

what it does

Reclaim the strip of pixels at the top of your screen.

Barred adds a divider to your menu bar. Command-drag icons to either side, then click the divider whenever you need the hidden ones.

features

Hide what you don’t need
Tuck away menu bar icons that clutter your screen. They’re still running — just out of sight until you want them.
Reorder freely
Drag icons into the order that makes sense to you. No more fighting with macOS about where things land.
Reveal on demand
Click the divider to bring hidden icons back temporarily. They tuck away again after a delay you control.
Works around the notch
Move icons that would otherwise disappear behind the MacBook Pro notch into the hidden section and reach them with a click.
Zero overhead
Tiny footprint, instant launch. Barred uses accessibility APIs efficiently and stays out of the way.
