FAQs
Does hiding an icon quit the app behind it?
No. The app keeps running and working as normal. Only its icon leaves the menu bar, and one click or shortcut brings it back.
Does it help on MacBooks with a notch?
Yes. It is made with notched displays in mind, with layout and spacing options that keep icons clear of the camera area on those screens.
Why does it ask for extra permissions?
Menu bar tools need system access to move and hide icons that belong to other apps. macOS asks you to approve that access during setup.
