Can't believe this wasn't hunted yet. A must for every Mac I own. It's easy for the menu bar to get crowded but Bartender keeps it nice and clean. It's something really simple that brings a lot of joy. Even just being able to re-arrange the order of items in the menu bar makes me feel better about my workspace.

@jberrebi Alfred, TextExpander, 1Password, Divvy, and Yoink. If I don't have those on my Mac, I go crazy. Just not as fast and at peace with my computer.
@eric3000 Just bought Yoink. Looks great! I'm already using Alfred, TextExpander and 1Password all the time :)
Don't need Divvy
I also like a lot Fantastical & Skitch
@jberrebi I think we think alike :) I'm also using Fantastical and skitch. Productivity machine
My obsession with tiny menu bar apps can easily be hidden and cleaned up with this app. Easily my favorite way to tidy things up.
I was just bemoaning the fact that this sort of thing didn't exist. Luckily I was just cranky and ignorant. Such a good find!
I'm a huge fan of Bartender. My favorite feature is ability to hide things like Notification Center and Spotlight that I don't use. Here is my setup:

I like the app, ive seen it when it was in beta, but once it went live I didnt get it. 15$ is just waaay to much for me personally.
I've always wanted this! The only issue I've encounter on first run is the RescueTime does not play nicely. It won't go into Bartender, and Bartender says it has it in there.
@gioismeyo @Shpigford thats actually my menu bar, and the apps iStat Menus
I would say finally! I don't understand complaining $15. If it is too much you don't need it maybe. I'm switching often from home 30" to my native MBP 13" when nomading. Super unhandy always to see the menu bar shrinking and hiding items randomly. Will give this a go.
I've been using Bartender for a little while now and it's one of my favorites because it helps me focus on the menu bar items I need most and still gives me the flexibility to easily access the rest of my less used menu bar items
@benhsurtees - The app has bugs and even though I sent you several emails to fix it, your company did not took action on that.
@ssstofff OSX el capitan introduced a setting under general to automatically hide and show the menu bar. This was around the same time that Bartender2 was released as a paid upgrade. Hiding the menu bar entirely is a sufficient replacement for this app for me as I'm only concerned with not seeing the clutter and not the advanced ordering capabilities that Bartender provides
@joshtronic i stick to not updates things as long not updated things work. so still yosemith here. It is very handy to me you can arrange Bartender to show icon the default way, hiding it or showing with Bartender. Apple should nog copy ideas but stick to there OS and basic functionalities, like getting their Bluetooth stable :)
Every minimalists dream! Definitely going to check it out when I get to the office!
Bartender is definitely such a powerful tool to keep your Mac organized. Can't imagine how would have my menu bar looked like without the bartender! It's a must-have app for any Mac user who wants to keep their Mac organized. Besides, to my knowledge, there is no alternative available for Bartender and it's one on it's kind. — Hats off to the developers for such a great app at such an incredibly low price! Bartender most definitely worth much more than 15 bucks! 👌🏼
I cannot recommend this enough- it helps ease my cluttered mind through a less-cluttered display.
