Hi, I'm the developer of Bartender. I am super excited to be releasing Bartender 4. Thanks @chrismessina for hunting it. I initially created Bartender 1 over nine years ago. When I first got a mac, I had purchased an iMac that had an HDD replacement, so the fan was going crazy. I wrote software to fix this and released this. I then got asked by a few users if they could remove its menu bar item, that's when I thought I would like to hide some menu bar items too, so I started looking into if I could do this. Six months later, I released Bartender 1. 2 months after this, I quit my day job and became an indie developer. Since then, I have had to rewrite Bartender three more times through the eleven macOS versions it's supported. I started work on Bartender 4 before the macOS Big Sur announcement, adding many features I had always wanted to see in Bartender. When Big Sur was revealed, the UI changes required a complete rewrite of Bartender again. I took this as an opportunity to add even more features and changes I felt made Bartender even better. With Bartender, I have tried to keep its functions focused on making the users' menu bar as useful for them as possible. I think Bartender 4 fulfills this goal better than any other version. Bartender 4 really aims only to show you the menu bar items you need or want to see currently but provide the quickest convenient access to all your menu bar items.

I think @chrismessina introduced me to the original Bartender release. And I've been a faithful user ever since. Highly recommended for cleaning up all of your menu bar lint! Thanks for all of the amazing work @benhsurtees 🧡

Bartender has changed how I organize my MacBar and finally got rid of the clutter. Love the way Bartender dynamically shows menu items depending on their status. For example, now I only see the battery icon when I'm at 20%!
