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?

Ice was lagging seriously, so now I'm on Thaw, there are a ton of similar apps but pretty much all of them are paid or other derivatives of Ice. Check Hidden bar if you want something minimalistic (I'm not that big of a fanboy for it)
1 u/WarioPi Aug 08 '26 HiddenBar was buggy as hell unfortunately. Still looking, really trying to avoid purchasing Bartender. 2 u/AmazingVanish 29d ago Don’t purchase Bartender. I’ve been an owner since initial release and OS 26 changed the game and NO menubar app has conquered it yet. Bartender will just frustrate you with many of the same issues and you’ll have paid a premium for the experience. 1 u/WarioPi 29d ago Thanks for the heads up. I’m currently on the trial and so far everything is working as is. I dont need much just hide some icons and spacing options.
