The macOS app Bartender, which cleans up/hides menu bar items and which I have been using for years, stopped working reliably a few days ago. It turns out that the app has been bought and it's not entirely clear who the new owner is. Time to take a look at an alternative.

It appears that the Mac app Bartender apparently changed ownership recently without anyone being told. You may want to disable updates for it for now. https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1d7zjv8/bartender_5_not_safe_anymore_warning_from/ Ice appears to be an open source alternative: https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice

@eay Just uninstalled it, giving Hidden Bar a try again as a replacement. https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/hidden-bar/id1452453066?mt=12
