3. hidden

   2 51 11,819 0.0 Swift

   An ultra-light MacOS utility that helps hide menu bar icons

   

   I use Hidden Bar (https://github.com/dwarvesf/hidden) for this. It works well enough despite not being updated in a while, though there is a bit of jank. Just tried out Ice and it seems to be a nice, lower jank replacement!

4. AeroSpace

   3 21 11,625 9.7 Swift

   AeroSpace is an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS

   

   Window management is fine, what is missing are half-split/full-screen shortcuts. There are many apps which can set them up, but a built-in possibility would fix most issues, since only a very small subset of users cares about tiling wm even on linux. Though, there was a new project the other day on HN, where SIP can remain on: https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

   I, for my part, have configured window placement shortcuts in Hammerspoon (also possible with KM, BTT and a what feels like a million of other apps) and am completely happy. I mostly look at the maximized terminal anyway, the splits do happen in neovim and tmux.

5. bitbar

   Put the output from any script or program into your macOS Menu Bar (the BitBar reboot)

   

6. Dozer

   5 44 8,385 0.0 Swift

   Hide menu bar icons on macOS

   

   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.
