Foyer

A calmer Mac menu bar — without the trade‑off.

Why Foyer

A busy menu bar is the clutter you look at all day. The tools that clean it up have always come with a catch: some record your screen, some phone home, and macOS 26 Tahoe broke or degraded most of them along the way.

Foyer is the menu‑bar manager built for that moment — native to Tahoe, polished from the first pixel, and honest about exactly what it does. It hides what you don't need, brings it back the instant you do, and asks for a single permission to do it. It never asks to record your screen.

What you can do

Hide and show, instantly. Tuck away the icons you don't need behind a single toggle. Reveal them on click, on a global hotkey, or with a scroll across the bar — and let Foyer auto‑rehide them when you're done.

Arrange your whole bar. A visual editor lets you decide what stays visible, what's hidden, and the order everything sits in — instead of blindly Cmd‑dragging icons and hoping. Set simple rules: always show this, always hide that.

Stay clear of the notch. Foyer is notch‑aware. It never hides an icon under the notch; if items land there, it tells you and offers to manage them, instead of quietly swallowing them the way other tools do.

Feel at home on Tahoe. Foyer is designed for the macOS 26 menu bar from the ground up — translucent, buttery, and native. Not a port, not an afterthought, not a tool fighting the new system.

Trust you can verify

Foyer reaches the network exactly twice — an update check and a license check, both to our own domain, both switch‑off‑able. It contains no analytics or tracking SDKs of any kind. Run it behind Little Snitch and confirm it for yourself. Every release ships notarized by Apple with the hardened runtime, and a signed pledge — no telemetry, and 30 days' public notice before any change of ownership or data collection — travels inside the download.

Crucially, Foyer uses Accessibility permission only. It never requests Screen Recording, which is what makes other menu‑bar managers trip the "this app is watching your screen" indicator. Foyer skips that feature to skip that permission.

Built for people who live in their menu bar

Developers, designers, writers, and anyone whose Mac has collected more menu‑bar icons than fit — especially the ones who moved to macOS Tahoe and watched their old manager break. If you want your bar tidy and you don't want to trade your privacy for it, Foyer is for you.
