Release Notes

Bartender 6

Meet Bartender 6 - re-engineered from the ground up for performance & compatibility with macOS Tahoe.

Design

Bartender has a whole new glassy look, designed to fit right in on Tahoe.

Performance

Bartender is faster than ever, moving your items faster, and performing less moves when it does. Applying presets with huge changes will only take a couple seconds.

Widgets (beta)

Widgets let you create your own menu bar items, with no code required. From monitoring cpu usage, to controlling system settings, and even your favorite music player, it’s all available for you to play with. If you’re looking to get something really custom, you can also setup scripts to have them do anything.

Layout

Overflowing beyond the notch or left menu has been updated to automatically pop those items, and when the hidden bar won’t fit, we’ll show Bartender bar instead, so you can still see all your items.

Styles

We’ve added a whole new set of styles on Tahoe, including glass, and restoring classic bar styles. You can get back that sequoia look, create a glassy round bar, and more.

Preview

Please write in with any issues you see! You can get in touch with us via support@macbartender.com We’re aware of a couple issues we’re aiming to fix as soon as possible - mostly related to styling.
  • Styles don’t display as expected on Sequoia
  • Material styles can flicker or apply darker than expected
  • Some styles don’t apply consistently
  • Separate pills don’t update in real-time, and sometimes show at the wrong length on a second display
