Barred
Your menu bar, under control. Hide icons you don’t need, reorder the ones you do, keep things clean.
Reclaim the strip of pixels at the top of your screen.
Barred gives you full control over your macOS menu bar. Hide icons you never click, reorder the ones you use, and set rules per app.
Everything it does.
Hide what you don’t need
Tuck away menu bar icons that clutter your screen. They’re still running — just out of sight until you want them.
Reorder freely
Drag icons into the order that makes sense to you. No more fighting with macOS about where things land.
Secondary bar
Overflow icons into a collapsible secondary row. Keep your primary bar minimal without losing access.
Per-app control
Set rules for individual apps. Some icons always visible, others always hidden — your call.
Zero overhead
Tiny footprint, instant launch. Barred uses accessibility APIs efficiently and stays out of the way.
Free. Small. Native.
