SecondBar
SecondBar is a free utility for macOS that adds an additional menu bar to your Mac, either on a second physical display or as a separate menu bar on the same screen. It lets you organize menu bar icons and status items across multiple bars, reducing clutter and freeing up space on your primary menu bar. The app sits passively in the menu bar and can be duplicated to create multiple secondary menu bars if needed.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSecondBar appears to be abandoned — the most recent public information dates to around 2011, and there is no evidence of native Apple Silicon support or recent development activity. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 on current Macs, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point this Intel-only build will stop launching entirely. Before that deadline arrives, consider switching to a maintained alternative: Bartender 4 (a popular paid option with native Apple Silicon support that offers extensive menu bar customization) or Tot (a simpler free alternative for organizing menu bar items). If you rely heavily on SecondBar's specific behavior, contact the original developer to ask whether an updated native build is planned, though the long silence suggests the project is inactive.
