Dozer

Free, open source · Open source

Price checked at source September 18, 2026.

A free, open-source menu bar icon hider — drag icons behind a Dozer arrow to tuck them out of sight, with an optional second hidden group.

Our take

The bare-bones alternative to Bartender or Ice: no scheduling, no search, no paid tier — just one or two collapsible groups you build by command-dragging icons behind a Dozer marker. 8.7k GitHub stars and a Homebrew cask make it an easy, no-cost first thing to try before paying for something heavier. The project’s last commit was in 2022, so treat it as stable-but-unmaintained rather than actively developed — it still installs and runs on current macOS via Homebrew, but don’t expect new features or fast bug fixes.

Worth knowing: No commits since November 2022 — the project appears unmaintained, though the released build still works on current macOS. No built-in scheduling or search; strictly a manual hide/show tool. Install via `brew install --cask dozer` or a direct GitHub release download.
