FAQ
What is FuseBar?
A menu bar panel for macOS. It combines system status, running apps, input sources, and project shortcuts, so you can hide the Dock and still open an app, switch the sound output, connect a Bluetooth device, or open a System Settings pane.
Does FuseBar hide other menu bar icons or the Dock?
No. It never hides, moves, or changes other menu bar icons or your Dock settings. Hide duplicate system icons in System Settings, and turn on Dock auto-hide yourself.
