Dozer
Dozer is a free, open-source menu bar utility for macOS that lets you hide and show status icons in the menu bar with a single click. It works by placing two draggable dividers (represented as dots) in the menu bar, allowing you to designate which icons are always visible and which are hidden until needed. This helps reduce visual clutter and distractions on the menu bar, especially on MacBook screens with limited space. Dozer fills the same role as the paid app Bartender but at no cost and with community-driven development.

1 suggestionDozer is currently Intel-only and runs on Apple Silicon Macs only through Rosetta 2 emulation, with no native Apple Silicon build available yet. However, the project is actively maintained on GitHub with recent updates and community contributions. Given that Apple will remove Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), you should monitor the project for a native build announcement — check the GitHub repository at github.com/Mortennn/Dozer regularly for updates or watch for a release that includes Apple Silicon support. In the meantime, Dozer continues to work on your M-series Mac via Rosetta, but the clock is ticking. If the developer does not ship a native build before September 2028, you will need to switch to an alternative menu bar manager such as Hidden Bar or Bartender, both of which have confirmed native Apple Silicon versions.
