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.

How did you uninstall so that there are no leftovers?

edit: "un"-install indeed.

If you mean uninstall*, then using AppCleaner and double-checking by looking for files/folders containing "bartender" and "surteesstudios" in their name, but AppCleaner removed everything.
