## About

ClearBar is a menu bar manager for Mac that hides third-party icons, including those behind the notch, while keeping every app available in one panel. Click an app to open its menu, drag it between visible and hidden rows, or use a keyboard shortcut to show and hide icons.

The panel also shows each app’s memory use, lets you quit or Force Quit apps, and can stop Docker containers from Docker Desktop, OrbStack, or Colima. ClearBar needs Accessibility permission only, includes all v1 updates, and runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 26 or 27.
