LuLu VS Dozer

You could install WPD (https://wpd.app/), use Simplewall (https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall) and a pihole on the network to block a lot, but it's still sad that we need to do this.

Apple alternatives include LuLu (https://github.com/objective-see/LuLu)

LuLu is probably the most user-friendly application.

The worst thing that could happen is that one of the governments would specifically ask Apple for the data of everyone in your area, or just you. I don't know how bad this is for you, but with open source programs like LuLu, you can see how much data your computer is sending to Apple in the background without you noticing.

There's also a free (open source) equivalent available, called Lulu: https://github.com/objective-see/LuLu

jok, https://github.com/objective-see/LuLu

Lulu is open source and free, with 7.8k stars on GitHub.

LuLu is a free alternative for LittleSnitch

For about 4 years now, I've used Dozer [0] to hide and organize menu items. It's been mature and stable the whole time. It had many of the features still on the development roadmap for Ice. You can drag-and-drop icons, hide and reveal with clicks or keyboards, and have two levels of hidability.

yeah, no reason these days to use proprietary solutions for small problems. I'll check out Ice, it seems much more modern (and maintained) than Dozer: https://github.com/Mortennn/Dozer

I just wish somebody would create an open source alternative to Rouge Amoeba's Loopback!

Sadly it's as good as not functional (it doesn't even begin to work on my Mac). I used to use https://github.com/Mortennn/Dozer and that also started misbehaving (and now the shortcut won't work). I used hidden's fork as well which also doesn't work. All of these apps are abandoned.

It doesn't look like it solves the problem.

Dozer (free - open source), HiddenBar (free), free alternatives to bartender, however, only does 1 thing and that's hiding the icons, not adding an extra menu, nothing just icons here, icons gone.

If your menu bar is a little cluttered, Dozer is a nifty little tool to clean it up.
