Bartender for Mac

Bartender for Mac is good again, and my menu bar is very thankful 9to5mac.com/2026/03/11/bar… by @mvcmendes

@jeremybrashear Thanks Jeremy! I've been surprised how popular removing the notch has been with the new bar options

@macbartender Thank you for the new menu bar styling options. Maybe I’m odd, but I want a solid black bar to cover up that “feature” of a notch on my MacBook Pro. Great update!

We've just shipped a huge update for Bartender 6, which stops the mouse feeling sluggish, and has a fix for Tahoe feeling a little slow. You can grab 6.0.3 early directly on our site under test builds, and it's already in the Setapp beta feed! macbartender.com/Bartender6/rel…

@JonyIveParody We're aiming to ship another build in a couple days that specifically targets this "Hidden" showing up, and fix some more bugs reported since launch🙏🏻

@macbartender This bug is still present in Bartender 6.0.1. Was this the update you were referring to? Or will 6.0.2 be released today/soon?

Bartender 6 is now available! 🎉 It's faster than ever, with a gorgeous new look for Tahoe. macbartender.com/Bartender6/blo…

@theStuartM If you hit check for updates, or have auto updates enabled, you can grab this now 😊

@macbartender I paid for 6.0 is the update feature going to pick up these or do I have to download manually?

it's time for another Tahoe update! 🚤 we've fixed a lot of issues, reduced bartenders cpu&memory usage, and lowered the amount of times you'll see the screen recording indicator! macbartender.com/Bartender6/alp…

@canhos @Setapp It's already there! You'll need to enable beta updates to get it for the moment

@macbartender How long for v6 to be also released in @Setapp?

@macleanestrada we've removed the settings window from startup and more in the latest update! You can grab it directly in the app if you hit check for updates

@macbartender totally buggy, every time it starts it is disconfigured and has to be configured again and again. It's like it doesn't remember the positions no matter what I tweak. And also every time it starts in login the settings window appears. Please fix it.

@lbonillaii if you fire an email to support we'll double check your license details for you! support@macbartender.com

@macbartender My Mega supporter license is not working

@JonyIveParody We're shipping a huge fix build tomorrow! This "Hidden" text should go away if you restart Bartender ( we know its annoying )

@macbartender In its current state, Bartender 6 is unusable. Clicking to expand the menu and then clicking on an icon does not work properly. And this "Add en" (?) mysteriously appears often. Bartender needs updated ASAP.

@damnielsan @ShadowMaker00 @Setapp It's available in the beta feed if you enable beta updates via setapp! Coming to main feed soon support.setapp.com/hc/en-us/artic…

@ShadowMaker00 @macbartender @Setapp 👀

@vertyll_bengal if you send me your receipt via the support email I'll get this fixed for you!

@macbartender I have a mega supporter and my key don't working

@EvanHKatz We haven't seen this with our sequoia testing yet, sorry to hear you're facing an issue here! If you can get back to us with the details we asked for in support, we'll get right on it.

@macbartender Bartender 6 totally not working on our Mac running sequoia. Absolutely no items show up in the primary menu bar. And in the BT settings for which icons to show the scroll bars are missing, so users cannot select which apps they want to move to the primary menu bar. Horrible bugs.

focus on exactly what you want to work on with Bartender presets 👨🏼‍💻 vpns & all the boring bits during the day, then break out the fun stuff as soon as it hits 5 - all automatically applied with triggers 🚀

Fancy some speedy hands free access to your menu bar items? Bartender lets you setup a hotkey to open anything with a custom command 👀 ( even if its hidden 😏 )

@mortendedans Sorry we missed that one! You can grab it directly on the site: macbartender.com/Bartender6/alp…

@macbartender hey, i replied to the email that was sent to me but never received early beta access for Bartender 6, is that normal? Loved Bartender 5

You can create your own menu bar items without code in Bartender! 🚀

@KishinManglani you can run any script you want - including json parsing 👀

@macbartender Looks cool! Can it parse JSON?

@NathanSudds it should stop once it finishes arranging - but there could be a particular item getting in the way 🤔 if you fire us an email with your Tahoe version & a screenshot of your bar items we'll take a look for you!

@macbartender @macbartender I'm still experiencing that annoying issue with Bartender taking over the mouse, I just downloaded the latest alpha and it's still an issue. Any suggestions to resolve this?
