BarMate quietly tucks away the icons you don't need, so your menu bar shows only the ones you do. Tidy in a tap.
Requires macOS 10.13 or later · 100% free · No subscription
What BarMate does
Every app you install wants a spot in your menu bar. BarMate hands that space back to you — instantly, and without uninstalling a thing.
Tap to tuck
One tap on the BarMate icon hides or reveals your pinned items. No settings to dig through, no menus to open.
Hidden, not gone
Tucked icons are only out of sight. Whenever you need one, a single tap brings the whole group right back.
Free, no strings
No trial timers, no subscriptions, no upsells. BarMate is free to download and free to keep, for good.
Arrange your way
Slide the BarMate separator anywhere along the bar to decide exactly which icons stay and which get tucked.
Plays nice with all apps
If an app puts an icon in your menu bar, BarMate can tuck it. It works seamlessly with everything on macOS.
Feather-light
Built natively for macOS, BarMate sits quietly in the background using almost no memory or battery.
How it works

Tap to tidy

Private by design
No analytics, no telemetry, no network access. Whatever you do with BarMate stays entirely on your Mac.
No sign-up needed
Download, install, done. There's no account to create, nothing to log into, and no personal details collected.
Ready in seconds
No setup wizards or onboarding flows. From download to a cleaner menu bar takes less than a minute.
