## Kitsmith's take

Rapidly became the default recommendation for menu bar organization when you’d rather not pay. Actively developed and genuinely good.

## Features

- **Hide and reveal:** Hide menu bar items into an “always-hidden” section, revealed by hover, click, or scroll.
- **Ice Bar:** Shows hidden items in a separate bar below the menu bar — built with the notch in mind.
- **Drag-and-drop layout:** Rearrange individual menu bar items directly.
- **Menu bar appearance:** Tint, shadow, border, and custom shapes for the menu bar itself.
- **Search:** Search menu bar items by name instead of scanning visually.
