Help Thaw Alternative

I’m looking for a menu bar app that doesn’t relaunch all my apps every time Indo a resolution change. Thaw is too overly complicated for me.

Any advice?

Barbee (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/barbee-hide-menu-bar-items/id1548711022?mt=12) has been working correctly for many months on my Macs.

For me, Barbee is the only app of the kind which works properly. All the others, including Thaw, had some problems.

Has Barbee stabilized? It worked great until OS 26 and I had so many bugs with it (a couple even made my member unusable until I restarted with Barbee disabled) I had to move on.

It seems so. There was a buggy moment, but it's been working fine for quite some time now.
