iFloe hides, arranges, searches and restyles the macOS menu bar — and gives everything that overflows a second bar of its own. Built for macOS 26 Tahoe. Free, with no account and no subscription.
Full appearance control, item search, a secondary overflow bar and spacing adjustment — the whole feature set, without a licence key or a renewal date.
Apple rebuilt the menu bar in Tahoe. iFloe resolves menu bar items through a bundled XPC helper, so hiding, arranging and previewing keep working on the new design.
On MacBooks the notch swallows the middle of your menu bar. The iFloe Bar puts hidden items in their own bar underneath, where there is actually room for them.
Move any menu bar item into a hidden section, plus a second always-hidden section for the ones you never want to see.
Bring hidden items back on hover, click, scroll or swipe — then let iFloe tuck them away again automatically.
Show hidden items in a separate bar below the menu bar. Built for MacBooks where the notch leaves no room, including items the notch covers.
Open a search panel and jump straight to any menu bar item from the keyboard, however deeply buried it is.
Reorder menu bar items directly with a drag-and-drop layout editor, and tighten or loosen the spacing between them.
Solid or gradient tint, shadow, border, and custom rounded or split menu bar shapes.
Bind your own keyboard shortcuts to toggle sections, open the search panel and more.
Launches at login and updates itself in the background. Set it up once and forget it is there.
Requires macOS 14 or later. Accessibility permission is needed; Screen Recording is optional and only used for item previews and the iFloe Bar.
