MenuDown

Reclaim your menubar from the notch.
MenuDown reaches menubar items hidden behind the MacBook notch — clicking through when possible, and automatically dragging them into view when it can’t.

MenuDown in action — revealing hidden menubar items

Click-to-Reveal

Click any item in the panel — even one hidden behind the notch. MenuDown first tries to click through directly — if that fails, it automatically drags the item into view and clicks it there. The footer shows “Revealing…” while working.

Smart Reordering

Drag to rearrange your menubar. MenuDown physically moves the real icons, intelligently exposing notch-blocked items so every icon reaches its target.

🔍

Auto-Discovery

Automatically detects every third-party menubar app using the macOS Accessibility API — including items hidden behind the notch.

🧹

App Menu Clearance

When a foreground app's text menus overlap your status icons, MenuDown temporarily clears them so clicks and drags always land on the right target.

📐

Vertical Layout

All your third-party menubar items in a clean vertical list — no more guessing what's hidden behind the notch.
