About Blenny

Blenny is a free, open-source menu bar organizer designed specifically for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 27. Its primary goal is to help users declutter their menu bar by allowing them to keep essential icons visible while hiding less frequently used apps, which can be revealed with a simple click. Unlike many menu bar management tools, Blenny emphasizes a seamless experience by avoiding pointer movement, simulated clicks, or requiring screen recording permissions, making it privacy-friendly and lightweight. Its intuitive interface allows users to arrange icons in drafts, apply changes when ready, and undo recent modifications, providing flexibility and control. As an open-source project licensed under Apache-2.0, Blenny appeals to privacy-conscious users and developers seeking a customizable, community-driven solution for menu bar organization.
