Vanilla — hide Mac menu bar icons for free (matthewpalmer.net)

Vanilla is a similar app to Bartender (I wrote about it in this article). It is a program that allows you to hide the icons on your menu bar. This is useful if you have a lot of menu-bar apps, especially on a small screen.

Vanilla allows you to choose which icons to show and which to hide, and to toggle between them with a single click or keyboard shortcut. The software can hide icons after five seconds and works with both light and dark menu bars.
