About
Bartender is a smart utility and all-in-one menu organizer for Mac. It helps you organize, search, and truly use the menu bar icons on your Mac, keeping your desktop tidy. With a minimalist interface and simple format, Bartender remains functional and always ready to go when you need it.
Customize the menu bar on macOS
The app itself acts as a small toolbar, allowing you to choose which icons stay in the main menu bar on your Mac and which icons move into the collapsible Bartender panel. It reduces desktop clutter by keeping everything at your fingertips. Even the Bartender icon itself can be hidden for a completely minimalist approach.
Change the order of icons
Set the desired order for both your menu items and the Bartender taskbar itself by simply pressing ⌘ and dragging the icons. Organize and hide apps on the go for a discreet, focused work environment.
Notice changes in the application
The menu bar can be useful for storing application tabs while they update or change status. Bartender includes a feature to automatically display application icons during updates, synchronizations, or errors. As soon as the process is completed, they will disappear again. This is a great way to get notifications without any fuss.
Search menu items
Bartender is equipped with a search function, so you will always have access to the icons you need. Regardless of the chosen order of icons, you can click on search and start typing the name to find the application you need. This feature is the perfect way to combat a cluttered menu bar.
Create your own hotkeys
Bartender supports hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts for those who prefer clicking their typing. Choose the appropriate key combination to activate the menu and open applications without taking your hands off the keyboard.
Use your keyboard to navigate
Activate any menu bar items and navigate through them using the arrow keys and the Enter key to open. As a result, you can easily check the information you need and work with your open applications, focusing on the task at hand.
