Tansu is now Tiroir, French for drawer: each drawer holds one kind of thing.

New

  • A new name and a new icon. The icon shows what Tiroir does: a drawer's icon in the menu bar, and the glass
    panel that opens right under it.
  • A new address. The website is https://gettiroir.vercel.app, the source is https://github.com/ruben4reall/tiroir,
    and Homebrew installs it with brew install --cask ruben4reall/tap/tiroir.

Tansu 1.0 does not become Tiroir by itself: install Tiroir, then move Tansu to the Trash.

Fixed

  • An icon opened from a drawer goes back to its own place, even when that place is beside the notch. It used to
    go right behind the divider instead, and the order of the hidden icons could change, which showed the day Tansu quit.
    Now the icons that belong on its right step out and go back after it, and every drop stays clear of the notch.
  • Tests leave no file behind in ~/Library/Preferences, for anyone who builds Tansu.

Tansu 1.0: your menu bar, in drawers. Free and open source, for macOS 26 Tahoe and macOS 27.

New

  • Drawers. Tansu sorts the icons on the right of the menu bar into drawers, each shown as one icon drawn like macOS's own menu bar icons, from a library of 390 by theme (or an emoji, or a few letters), with its name and count if you like. A click drops a glass panel with the drawer's icons, and a click on an icon opens its own menu. Arrow keys, Return, Escape and typing work in every drawer, and a right-click moves an icon to another drawer, keeps it in the menu bar or hides it.
  • Smart Sort. One click proposes drawers by purpose (files and cloud, security, messages, AI, developer tools, music and video, devices, and more) or by developer, shown as a preview of your menu bar that you adjust before it applies. Clock, Control Center, Battery, Wi-Fi and Sound stay in view. New icons join their drawer, stay in the menu bar or hide, as you choose.
  • Menu bar and Hidden. Keep in the menu bar the icons you look at all the time, and hide the ones you never need to see: they stay one search away, and in the All drawer.
  • Search. ⌃⌥⌘Space opens a field under the menu bar: two letters and Return open any icon's menu.
  • Show everything. A click on Tansu's icon opens every drawer and every hidden icon at once. To see every icon in the menu bar itself: an Option-click on Tansu's icon, a shortcut, or, if you turn them on, a rest, a click or a swipe on an empty part of the menu bar. They hide again a few seconds after the pointer leaves the menu bar, or with the same gesture. Beside the notch, where not every icon fits, the All drawer can show them instead.
  • Icon shortcuts. Give any icon a shortcut: it opens that icon's menu wherever the icon lives, in the menu bar, in a drawer or hidden.
  • Space between icons. Standard, Snug, Compact or Tight, for every app on the Mac: more icons fit beside the notch.
  • Focus. ⌃⌥⌘F leaves only the clock and Control Center, for a presentation or a screen share, and brings everything back.
  • Notch aware. Settings draws your menu bar at its real size, notch included, measures the room left beside it, says when icons no longer fit, and moves the overflow into a drawer in one click.
  • Appearance. A tint for the menu bar (a color or a gradient), a hairline border and a soft shadow, previewed live, in three shapes: full width, a floating bar, or split in two, one piece behind the app menus and one behind the icons, on each side of the notch on a MacBook. Dark Mode can have a look of its own, which the menu bar takes as soon as the Mac switches.
  • Profiles. Save the whole setup of the menu bar (its drawers, where each icon goes, and the appearance) as a named profile, and switch from Tansu's menu, from Settings or with the profile's own shortcut. While a profile is active, every change you make is kept in it.
  • Triggers. While an app is open or in front, while the Mac runs on battery or its battery is low, while an external display is connected, during the hours you choose, or while the camera or microphone is in use: switch to a profile, show a drawer's icons or one icon in the menu bar, or turn on Focus. When the condition ends, the menu bar goes back and the profile you had before returns. Nothing polls: macOS tells Tansu when a condition changes, and a time range sets one timer to its next start or end.
  • macOS 26 and macOS 27. On macOS 26 Tansu moves icons with the same Command-drag you would use. On macOS 27 it asks the menu bar to leave hidden apps out, and runs from the Applications folder; Settings says which engine runs and what macOS 27 does not allow. Support for macOS 27 is marked beta until it has been tried on a Mac running it.
  • Careful with your menu bar. Tansu waits for a pause of your pointer and keyboard before it moves an icon, never hides an icon that should show (if one cannot be moved, every icon stays in view and Tansu tries again), keeps its divider where it was from one launch to the next so a restart moves nothing, and stays clear of the notch and of the apps drawn around it.
  • Nothing lost. Quit Tansu, or let it crash, and every icon is back in the menu bar.
  • Your setup in a file. Export your drawers, profiles, triggers and settings to a file, and import it on another Mac. Settings, General also copies a diagnostic report for a bug report: nothing is sent, you choose where to paste it.
  • One permission. Accessibility, and nothing else: no Screen Recording, no Input Monitoring. Without it, Tansu says so plainly and moves nothing.
  • Private. No telemetry, no account. The only connection is the update check, which you can turn off.
  • Native. A four-step welcome, a dark Settings window in the manner of System Settings, Open at Login, shortcuts you can record for search, Focus, the All drawer, each drawer and each profile, and respect for Reduce Motion, Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast.
  • Ten languages. English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese, in the words macOS itself uses for the menu bar, Control Center and System Settings in each. Tansu follows the Mac's language, or the one chosen for it in System Settings.
  • Updates. Sparkle checks for new versions, signed with Tansu's EdDSA key and notarized by Apple. Homebrew: brew install --cask ruben4reall/tap/tansu.
