Bartender 5 works fine for me in Public Beta 1, but if I try and run iStat Menus it then crashes.
iStat menus by itself runs, but doesn't put anything on the menu bar.

I've been using Ice instead of Bartender and iStat Menus is working well for me.
Bartender was not working before I installed iStat Menus, so I uninstalled it. I then installed iStat Menus, and it is working fine.
I've ever heard of this tool but it looks exactly like the Hidden Bar replacement I've been yearning for. Bartender has never been on my radar as I thought it looked overkill and overpriced for my needs. Thanks for sharing, your posts may have just earned this dev an extra fan 👍🏼
fwiw, what's wrong with hidden bar? it's worked for me thru every beta since tahoe developer beta 1....
Nothing wrong, if it meets your needs. When I tried it some years (3?) ago, I found it was significantly lacking in functionality compared with Bartender. Checking now, I see that it has not had any updates in over 3 years - that would worry me regarding commitment from the developer.
Yes, hidden bar was slightly under developed for my needs too and Ice has (almost perfectly) filled the missing gaps for me today, thanks to you and gank41 bringing it to my attention.
Given the initial release cadence of Ice prior to the last release, I'm now a little disappointed that there's been no updates since Oct last year and the developer has also stated that Ice development has taken a backseat to their new job. I really hope Ice doesn't get completely neglected or just fall into 'occasional maintenance' mode. It really is a superb little app!
Of course, I'm happy the dev got hired (maybe even on the strength of Ice and its popularity), and I appreciate they have to pay the bills and when something is open source, very few will ever donate to the dev or 'buy them a coffee', but...I really want a couple more of the features on the roadmap now I've tried it 😅.

ah, got it. i used to use bartender, but it's overkill for me; i just want to hide some icons. so, it's a freebee that works perfectly in tahoe. it's basic, it works; am not worried about 'developer commitment' 👍
Fair enough.
I was too. Now there is a beta version for Tahoe - Ice 0.11.13. No new features, but fixes issues with Tahoe. https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice/releases
