Bartender 1.12.1 set the template for every menu bar manager that followed—including , Hidden Bar , and Dozer . Its approach of “hide but not uninstall” became the industry standard. Even macOS Big Sur and later versions added native menu bar icon rearrangement (Command+drag), a clear nod to what Bartender pioneered.
You can set a hotkey (e.g., Option+B ) to show/hide the Bartender Bar instantly. This is perfect for power users who want to keep the bar hidden 95% of the time but need occasional access to VPN, Time Machine, or audio switcher icons.
