   I honestly can’t believe the MacBook Notch just hides menu bar apps and icons with zero indication that there are more that simply can’t be displayed because of the notch.

   I wasted so much time trying to figure out why Little Snitch and 1Password were not running — they were. But they were hidden by the notch.

   This is seriously so dumb.

   So now I have to buy a 3rd-party app to fix this.

     How many menu bar apps are you running? Genuinely curious

     @inthehands

     1Pass, Little Snitch, Tot, Pause (from @harshil), Lucifer (mine), Red Eye (mine)

     Then I usually show: WiFi, Bluetooth, Volume, Time Machine, Scripts, Date and Time.

     I think that’s it. It’s not much. (Not at my laptop right now.)

     13 is a large number, perhaps, but that’s truly not an unreasonable collection of choices. The OS really ought to have a better way of managing that.

     I asked because I haven’t had anything like the problem you describe, but only keep 7 visible (1pass, keyboard, displays, battery, wifi, control center, date & time), and that’s on a 16” screen. Seems like they just haven’t thought about overflow.

     On a related note: really wish arbitrary menu widgets could move into control center.
