About Thaw
Thaw gives hidden menu bar items their own organized space, with keyboard search and configurable ways to reveal them. Profiles and triggers let the arrangement follow a display, Focus, or other desktop context.
Its separate bar can help on displays with a notch. The project documents the permissions required to manage other applications' menu bar items.
