About Ice

Ice tidies a crowded Mac menu bar. Its main job is to hide menu bar items you do not need to see all the time and bring them back when you want them, so the icons that matter stay visible next to the clock.

Beyond hiding and showing items, the developer aims to cover a wide range of extra menu bar features. The project notes that it is in active development and that some planned features are not implemented yet. It is a free, open-source alternative to paid menu bar organizers.

Strengths

  • Hides and reveals menu bar items to reduce clutter
  • Free and open-source alternative to paid menu bar tools
  • Large user base on GitHub

Limitations

  • macOS only
  • Still in active development, with some features not finished
