BARTENDER IS ONE of those rare breeds of apps that does one small thing, but does it so well that you wonder how you ever lived without it. Bartender brings order to your chaotic menu bar, by allowing you to choose what appears in it and when.
Each menu bar icon can be configured one of three ways. It can be left permanently visible on the menu bar, hidden completely, or relegated to a hidden menu that pops up whenever you click the main Bartender menu bar icon or set up a hotkey. Managing this is easy —it’s a simple case of dragging and dropping icons between the three states: Shown, Hidden, and Always Hidden. You get to choose what order the icons are displayed in, and from version 5 also gain the ability to add another layer of organization with customized groupings.
