There is no ability to file an issue or see an existing one, so it was not visible how to show the icon once hidden.

I eventually found it in the release notes. So I have added the command to the readme, so that others can find it quickly.

Note, I have added the command to also kill the process, since that is required. The icon doesn't show until the process is restarted.

I am not an Apple dev, so I couldn't contribute in code. However, I think hiding the icon is counter intuitive to the use of the application for majority of users. Someone who wants to make use of it, would actually be capable enough to undo it via the terminal. For most people who would be using this app, the hide icon option puts them in a weird spot where they are lost in figuring out how to bring it back, say if they selected it accidentally.

I use your app and I am fine with terminal, so everything works for me. Just added my observation for you to consider for future.

Thank you for creating this app 😄

Can this be merged please? It seems so essential being able to undo your actions

Hey everyone. I added a feature in my fork where you can re-add the status bar icon by launching the app a second time. You can then disable the Hide icon option in the menu. The fork also contains #16 which I did previously. Enjoy.

Thanks for the suggestion, added an FAQ in 696c2a0.

I think it makes sense to remove the UI option going forward because I agree it's confusing & unnecessary for most users. Instead it could be a terminal-only toggle on/off for power users.

This can be confusing for users who might not realise they can restore
it via the Terminal.

Instead power users can hide/show the icon as they please via the Terminal.

Addresses feedback in #12
