Mac menu bar organization

Keep everyday icons in view. Tuck the rest away.

Some menu bar icons are useful all day. Others only need an occasional click. Put the less-used ones behind OmniDock's divider and reveal them when you need them.

The demo shows the hidden section opening and closing. Which icons go in that section is up to you.

Start with one icon you rarely use

  1. Click OD in the menu bar and open Hidden Bar.
  2. Turn on Enable Hidden Bar.
  3. Hold Command and drag an icon across the divider into the hidden section.
  4. Click OmniDock's show/hide control to open or close that section.

You arrange icons in the menu bar itself. OmniDock doesn't pick, sort, or move them for you.

Close it yourself, or let the timer do it

Leave automatic hiding off if you'd rather close the section yourself. Turn on Automatically Hide to close it after a delay of 5 to 60 seconds.

The delay applies after you've opened the section. It doesn't decide which icons belong there.

Some system icons stay put

macOS may keep system-owned items such as the clock or Control Center in fixed positions. If an icon won't move, OmniDock can't force it across the divider.

Menu bar organization doesn't need additional privacy permissions. For setup help, see Support.
