What it does
Let your notch eat no more! ChocolateBar is a native Mac app that adds a row under your menu bar for icons hidden by the MacBook notch. As you add menubar applications like claude usage notifiers, trackers, productivity apps, the notch starts to eat up menu bar items... and at some point macOS just gives up and shoves icons behind the notch where you can't even click them. Others tries to addresses this by hiding icons. I decided to create an additional bar to show you your menubar items!
ChocolateBar is a native Mac menu bar manager. Hide the icons crowding your menu bar, or show them (and your open apps) in a second row below the bar. A Bartender and Ice alternative that works with or without a notch.

ChocolateBar is for the moment your menu bar runs out of room. Hide the icons crowding it, or give them a second row, whether your Mac has a notch or not. Open Slack, Linear, your VPN, a password manager and a sync client, and the bar fills up. Older icons fall off the edge, and on a 14" or 16" MacBook Pro the notch hides them sooner. Either way you lose the icons you reach for, and finding the…from chocolatebar.app

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
