Lounge

Lounge is a menu bar manager for macOS that helps tidy up a crowded menu bar, especially on notch-equipped MacBooks. Drag and drop icons between sections, hover near the notch to reveal a panel with hidden and visible items plus clipboard history, or hit Cmd+Shift+L to toggle hidden icons instantly.

It offers several icon styles, divider characters, and animation speeds so you can match your own workflow, along with a settings panel for launch-at-login, shortcuts, and license management.

A Pro tier adds a local HTTP listener that turns the menu bar into a notification hub for coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and Aider.

Lounge requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later and is available as an annual subscription with a 7-day free trial.
