About Barbee - Hide Menu Bar Items 5.0 for Mac
Barbee is a menu bar management app for macOS positioned as a Bartender alternative, giving users full control over which icons appear in their menu bar and how much space they take up. Rather than living with a cluttered row of status icons competing for space, Barbee lets users hide, show, group, and reorganize menu bar items with a single click, keeping the bar clean and legible even on Macs running many background utilities. What sets Barbee apart from a simple show/hide toggle is its automation layer: users can configure rules that automatically show development tools when specific apps launch, hide communication apps during Focus sessions, or surface system monitors when CPU usage crosses a defined threshold. A Spotlight-style search with a customizable keyboard shortcut gives instant access to any menu bar item — including hidden ones — without needing to reveal the full bar first, while visual customization lets icons be represented as emoji, SF Symbols, text, or custom images and spacing between items reduced to fit significantly more icons in the same space.
