macOS menu bar organizers

This cluster comprises macOS utilities that fold, hide, group, and reorder menu bar icons, with some offering drag-and-drop or divider-based control. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from — it predates the index or its members are undated. Among tracked members, barkeep leads on traction with 53 stars, followed by open-bar (7 stars) and FoldBar (4 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
