As you install more and more software on your Mac, your menu bar might start to get cluttered with extraneous icons. This not only looks messy, but it can make it a bit of a chore to access settings for your various apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Normally, the only way to cut down those various menus is to go through your apps and hunt for an option that allows you to remove them from your menu bar, if you\u2019re lucky. A tiny MacOS application from the indie development firm Dwarves Foundation can also help you achieve a clean, minimalist desktop in a few clicks. Check out this example GIF from the app\u2019s official GitHub page to see what we mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to use Hidden on MacOS<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Download the app from GitHub. Follow the installation instructions on the page\u2019s readme section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After Hidden is installed and opened, you\u2019ll see two new icons in your Mac\u2019s menu bar: \u201c|\u201d and \u201c>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To organize and hide your menu bar, press Command, and then click and drag the \u201c|\u201d and \u201c>\u201d icons to their desired locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any menu items to the left of the \u201c|\u201d icon will be hidden when you click the \u201c>\u201d icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s it! Hopefully, this will help make your desktop a little more pleasing to the eye. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
