Recommendation for Menu bar apps hider

Hi Guys

I have a question about which app successfully hides menu bar apps on Golden Gate. I have tested several options, and they do not function there, though they worked well in earlier macOS versions.

Are there any recommendations from people who have tried and tested this?

PicArrange — Major update to our free visual image search and sorting tool for Mac

Hey r/MacApps! 👋

Some of you might remember **PicArrange** from when we first shared it here a while back. Since then, we've rolled out a ton of major improvements, performance enhancements, and new features based on community feedback (developed as a project at HTW Berlin).

[On-device AI image search and visual management for Mac—100% private, zero remote server tracking.](https://preview.redd.it/4v2xxn55dmuh1.jpg?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb20a02280e1b12b6d0184c4234d5b9a23433765)

For anyone new to it or checking out what's changed, here is what PicArrange does:

# Problem

Standard macOS file browsing in Finder limits you to searching images by file names, dates, or tags. As photo libraries grow across folders, finding specific images without knowing exact file names or endlessly scrolling becomes tedious. Furthermore, finding duplicate or visually similar images, sorting photos by color, or querying local photo content with text descriptions is difficult using native system tools.

# Comparison

Unlike **Apple Photos** (which forces you to import files into a proprietary database) or traditional file managers like **Finder** and **Adobe Bridge** (which rely primarily on folder structures and file metadata), PicArrange works directly on your existing folder system and features:

* **Visual & Color Sorting:** Displays images on a multi-column visual grid sorted by similarity.
* **On-Device AI Search:** Search images using natural language text descriptions, visual example drops, or color selection—all processed locally on your Mac for complete privacy.
* **Dedicated Duplicate Finder:** Easily detect and manage duplicate images across selected directories.
* **Data Prep & Metadata Tools:** Filter and export arrangements or duplicate lists, manage tags, view GPS/IPTC metadata, and prepare datasets.

# Pricing

* **Price:** 100% Free (No ads, no subscriptions, no locked tiers).
* **Official Mac App Store Link:**[Download PicArrange on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/picarrange/id1530678223?mt=12)
