MacApper Tip: Clean Out Your Menubar Items

With the plethora of apps that offer you instant access to notifications and functions directly from the menubar, things can get pretty crowded pretty fast. However, it’s super easy to get rid of most of the items in your menubar, and it’s only a click and drag away.

On most Apple apps, simply command clicking will allow you to take the icon right off the menubar so that you have some more screen real estate available. You’ll see the familiar “poof” effect once it’s gone.

However, in some of the other non-Apple apps, it’s not as simple, but hardly a hassle. By visiting the preferences (command+comma) pane of most applications, there’s a little check mark box to show notifications in the menubar. Simply uncheck this box, and voila, the information up on the top of the screen should be gone.

I hope that this tip makes it a little easier to keep things clean on your Mac and stay organized in the process.
