Because of this #Bartender fuck-up I removed some apps from my MacBook. Just to have a lower chance that this happens again.

Well now I don't need Bartender anymore. 😅

🤔 Bartender is the first application I lovingly pay to upgrade immediately after my annual macOS upgrade.

Supporting a solo developer who consistently updates their app (Bartender) to keep pace with the latest OS features and versions is a joy.

👎 I hope we find out the Bartender is in good hands with their new owners, but this was the wrong way to start.

Well this is incredibly dodge https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/04/bartender-mac-app-new-owner/ - not only no announcement that BarTender was sold, the new owners added Amplitude analytic tracking (see Reddit Thread linked from the article) without any announcement or opt-out. Trust gone. Switched to the open source Ice https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice #bartender #macos #trust

#Bartender, a popular macOS app to customize your menu bar, recently changed ownership secretly, raising user concerns. The new owners confirmed the acquisition but didn't clarify the secrecy, increasing user unease.

Why has everything that has to do with software to be this frustrating these days?

#Bartender for #macOS was silently sold and it seems like the new owners have no intentions to say who they are.

So as usual: Is there an open source alternative to Bartender? I'm so sick of this stuff…

Oh wow. I just disabled Bartender and look which icon was hidden pretty conveniently by it…

This always pops up when an app records the screen. It was always visible for other apps, but disappeared sometimes for a short amount of time, what I thought was a macOS bug.

Seems like Bartender was able to hide this icon, when it was creating the screen recording itself? I'm pretty concerned right now and will definitely remove it immediately.

For all you users like myself, this seems like a nice little alternative.

Was intending to save this Bartender anime shot for the @anime_knockoffs account, but this knockoff of Bull-Dog worcestershire sauce is just Inu-Dog :blobfoxnomhotdog:
