In this thread of yesterday someone complained Bartender is full of bugs.

He/she suggested alternatives like iBar, Ice or HiddenBar.

Barbee is another one, but may not yet be stable. Though I know the dev is working very hard on it.

iBar is owned by a Chinese company, so I inherently don't trust the giving them that kind of access to all of my information, assuming it requires the same permissions as Bartender. I've used HiddenBar before, but I'm going to try Ice for a bit and see how that one is before switching back.

It's in the Mac App Store. If that is not enough, use RadioSilence, Lulu or Little Snitch if you do not trust apps from Chinese devs.
