Force Hide the Unhideable

Some apps won't let you hide their menu bar icon. Spacer fixes that by inserting a barrier that pushes them off-screen or behind the camera notch. Finally take back control.

Visual Zen for your Mac

Stop staring at a cramped, chaotic menu bar. Group your essential icons logically and create a calm, organized workspace with adjustable empty space.
