Hidden Bar

Hidden Bar is a Mac utility that lets you hide menu bar items when you don’t need them. It’s for you if app icons leave your menu bar feeling crowded.

What you get

You get a cleaner menu bar without losing access to hidden items.

Hidden Bar gives you a less crowded menu bar by hiding items you don’t need to see all the time. You can bring them back with a global keyboard shortcut, then hide them again when you’re done. That keeps your menu bar visually quieter while leaving those items within reach.

You can also have items hide automatically after 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 seconds. Choose a short delay to clear them away quickly, or a longer one to give yourself more time before they disappear.

Set Hidden Bar to launch when you log in, and you won’t need to open it manually at the start of each session.

  • Less visible clutter

    You can keep menu bar items out of sight when you don’t need them.

  • Access from your keyboard

  • Automatic cleanup

    You can have items hide after one of five delays, from 5 to 60 seconds.

  • Ready when you log in

    You can avoid opening Hidden Bar manually by setting it to launch at login.

Best for

  • You have a menu bar crowded with app icons
  • You want occasional access to items without keeping them visible
  • You prefer keyboard control for showing and hiding items

Skip it if

You don’t need it if your menu bar is already uncluttered or you want every item visible all the time.
