I've been a paying user since 2015. This makes me sad, as it's one of my most beloved utilities and this isn't a good look. I'll keep running it without updating until it stops working or I find a replacement that I like. Also:

That's a real shame. I've been trying to find a replacement for Bartender for ages, but I can't seem to find anything that matches up. Every alternative I've tested just isn't as good, so I always end up back with Bartender.

How about Ice?

@ASeriesOfPoorChoices @land Just FYI, Ice won't yet let you change the spacing between icons like Bartender does but if that's a concern see https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice/issues/67

Thanks for sharing! Do you know if it can show/hide icons based on screen size? I used to only hide my icons when I'm not connected to a larger screen with Bartender.

There is Dozer but it is pretty basic.

Dozer hasn’t been updated in the last five years.

Good point, I didn’t notice.
