Hidden Bar 1.11.2 fixes most of what macOS 27 broke in 1.11.1, and adds auto-update. Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later.

Install: download the zip below or brew upgrade --cask hiddenbar. Unzip and move Hidden Bar to /Applications. From this version on, the app updates itself (context menu > "Check for Updates...").

Highlights

  • Clock and Notification Center on macOS 27: clicking the clock while the bar is collapsed opens Notification Center again. The bar expands while the panel is open and collapses when you close it (#410).
  • Icons you keep visible stay visible: third-party items such as iStat Menus, and slow apps, are no longer hidden when they sit right of the arrow (#429, #465, #446). macOS's own Focus, Now Playing and Siri icons are listed in Preferences, with an opt-in way to keep them visible (#444, #436, #442).
  • Microphone and camera: the recording indicators no longer stay hidden; the bar shows while an app uses the microphone or a camera (#432).
  • Multi-display: icons no longer vanish when the arrow is on another display or the menu bar is narrow (#390).
  • Auto-update: the download build now checks for updates through Sparkle (#220, #197).
  • Translations: Turkish, Ukrainian and Italian.

Also fixed

  • The always-hidden section works on macOS 27 (#458, #464).
  • Time Machine and other system extras follow the arrow (#424).
  • No Dock icon when "use full menu bar on expanding" is off (#423, #463).
  • Auto-collapse waits while a menu-bar popup is open (#319).
  • macOS 26 and earlier: the arrow can no longer hide itself at launch (#336).
  • Preferences explains a missing Accessibility permission (#433).
  • New in Preferences: arrow style (#310), a near-invisible collapsed arrow (#173), and a hover-to-expand checkbox.

App Store users

The App Store build is sandboxed, and macOS 27 does not let a sandboxed app hide menu-bar icons. On macOS 27, use this download (or Homebrew) instead; quit and remove the App Store copy first. The App Store copy keeps its settings inside its sandbox, so set Hidden Bar up again once. On macOS 26 and earlier, the App Store build keeps working as before.
