SaneBar
A privacy-first, native macOS menu bar manager that hides unused icons, offers two viewing modes, and includes Touch ID lock and smart triggers.
What is SaneBar?
SaneBar is a menu bar management application for macOS that allows users to hide unused application icons to declutter their menu bar while keeping them easily accessible. It solves the problem of a crowded, distracting menu bar by providing intuitive hiding, searching, and organization tools with a strong emphasis on user privacy and on-device data processing.
macOS users, especially power users and professionals, who have many menu bar applications and want to reduce clutter, improve focus, and maintain privacy. It's ideal for those who use tools like crypto wallets, VPNs, or messaging apps that benefit from the added security of Touch ID locking.
Developers choose SaneBar for its unique combination of robust privacy guarantees (on-device data), advanced features like Touch ID lock and smart triggers, and a one-time purchase model for the Pro version, offering a powerful, ethical alternative to subscription-based or telemetry-heavy competitors.
