hidden

Hidden Bar is a lightweight macOS menu bar utility whose purpose is to hide menu bar icons so the desktop looks cleaner. It is distributed by Dwarves Foundation and licensed under MIT. Installation options include the Mac App Store, Homebrew (`brew install --cask hiddenbar`), or a manual download from the latest GitHub release. The README notes that builds distributed outside the App Store are notarized. After installing, the user launches the app and, while holding Command, drags its icon in the menu bar to position it among other icons. Usage is simple: hold Command and drag to move the Hidden icons around the menu bar, and click the arrow icon to hide menu bar items. The README includes screenshots and a tutorial GIF illustrating this behavior. Documentation is split into three files: a manual covering every setting, hidden Terminal-only options, and troubleshooting; an architecture document explaining how the hiding trick works, its topology, and known limits; and a maintainer runbook covering build, behavioral verification, and release process. System requirements are macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later. The README explains that the last release supporting macOS 10.13 High Sierra through 12 Monterey is v1.10, because later versions rely on the SMAppService API for autostart, which was introduced in macOS 13. The project credits its contributors and links to a contributing guide. It also points to related Dwarves Foundation utilities: Blurred (dims inactive windows to reduce distraction), Micro Sniff (notifies when a microphone device is in use), and VimMotion (Vim-style shortcuts for macOS).
