The open source menu bar manager for macOS.

Thaw hides the menu bar items you don't need, brings them back on demand, and finds any of them in a keystroke. Free, and free to keep: there is no subscription, no account and no tracking, and a new macOS never costs an upgrade. The code is open source under GPL-3.0.
Beyond hiding items, Thaw lets you organize them into groups, switch between profiles, customize your layout, and keep distractions away with Zen Mode. Every action is also a thaw:// link, so Raycast, Floe, Shortcuts or a shell script can drive Thaw.
