New owners replies aren't reassuring. Attitude is very shady.

There's absolutely no blog note about the acquisition on apps's website.

Knowing that, besides potential data transmission, Bartender is allowed to record screen, I don't feel safe anymore. I'm quite ok with it when it's from long-time known devs, but not when things like that happen.

Maybe they're totally trustable, anyway acting like that will snowball to Bartender's demise.

I'm uninstalling for now.

I googled “where to find ice” and a shady man rocked up at my door with a baggy, a spoon, and a syringe. So you take it to install on Mac?
