Continuum

Continuum is a minimal macOS menu bar utility for hiding menu bar items into a quiet overlay tray and revealing them only when needed.

The project is intentionally being trimmed around a small stable surface:

• Hide and reveal menu bar items without observing screen contents.
• Require Accessibility permission only.
• Keep settings sparse and predictable.
• Omit multi-layout switching, scripted actions, screen observation, and appearance decoration.
• Preserve a compact, premium interface that belongs in the menu bar.

Requirements

• macOS 26 or newer
• Accessibility permission

Settings mutation through URLs is intentionally disabled.
