Broomstick for Mac

Broomstick for Mac - Utility hide icons on the menu bar

Broomstick is the simplest utility to help you hide the menu bar icons do not want to display. While most applications create icons in the menu bar that allow you to hide it, others do not provide this option. Therefore, Broomstick will allow you to control your menu bar.

Broomstick is compatible with Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion. Version 0.91 (Beta) is the latest version of Broomstick. Broomstick has a built-in auto-update tool so you never have to worry about checking for updates anymore - it's all done automatically.

Note for version 0.91 :

Updates will be compatible with new Flux and Dropbox updates. It seems that on some systems, Broomstick takes a long time to unhide the Dropbox icon but it only needs enough time (2-3 minutes).

The application is supported

Broomstick can now hide the following applications: Air Video Server, Avira, BetterTouchTool, Boom, CPU Speed ​​Accelerator, Caffeine, Chronicle Mini, ChronoSync, Click.to, CloudApp, CrashPlan, Dimmer, DropCopy, Dropbox, Droplr, Evernote , Flutter, Flux, FullControlHelper, Garmin ANT Agent, Google Drive, GrabBox, GrabBox2, Growl, GrowlTunes, Hiss, Insync, Kuvva, Last.fm, LogMeIn, LogMeIn Hamach, Memeo Backup, MiddleClick, MuteCon, NoSleepHelper, Nocturne, OpenDNS Updater , PleaseSleep, PuntoSwitcher, Quiet Read, RemotelessHelper, Seamless, SnagIt, Splashtop Streamer, Spotlight, ToDoHelper, Wakoopa Tracker, Wallpaper Clocks, iTeleport Connect. If you want to hide other applications, you can do this inside the Broomstick.

How does Broomstick work?

Broomstick works by changing the permissions of an application file so that the application cannot display its icon. Some apps, like Dropbox, do not show anything in the menu bar, but many others show only a space. To overcome this situation, you can use the feature to customize the menu bar position of Broomstick to ensure that your menu bar will always be neat and beautiful.

Please note that running any ' Repair Permissions ' script on your Mac computer may show some of the icons that were hidden by the Broomstick. If they show again, you can easily hide them with the Broomstick.
