Great Bartender Replacement

I was looking for something that would allow the same functionality as Bartender for macOS 12 (Preview) and noticed that this looked like a watered down version of it. It's actually cheaper and although it wasn't as intuitive to set up for the first time, it includes all of the functionality that I care for. I would recommend it for all those in the same situation as I was. The only thing I would improve is simply hiding the "Hidden" label when showing on hidden items by themselves.

Great upgrade from Bartender!

I am testing macOS 26 and had issues with Bartender not working properly. After looking on Reddit, I found Barbee, again. I believe I had purchased sometime back but wasn’t where Bartender was at the time. However taking new look at the application, it feels like its come a long way. I was testing out the features like with dual monitors and notch monitors and like the experience. The flow feels really good as well, no lag and so far its working great under macOS 26.

Very Considerate Developer

Not only did this app solve all of my menu bar problems, it outperforms Ice when it comes to app compatibility. It also hides the screen recording symbol that appears occasionally to use the extra bar much better than alternatives. It has automation features like the one in Bartender.

The developer is also very kind in extending free licenses to open source maintainers and students/teachers. I highly recommend this app.
