We've added the option to make screen recording optional. This option does remove many features from Bartender, however. You may need to enable screen recording temporarily to setup Bartender, but then you can toggle it off if you'd like. Bartender never stores, scans, or uploads the contents of your screen. We also fixed a bug with Apple menu bar item, a bug with trigger logic, and a crash with multiple monitors.

Improvements

Issues with permissions is one of the most common support requests, and this should make setup easier. For users that experience permissions issues, we now remove Bartender permissions automatically by running tccutil reset All com.surteesstudios.Bartender in the background. This makes it easier to add Bartender permissions using the system prompt to make onboarding smooth.

Bartender is now part of the Applause family! We’re a small team of indie devs based in NYC that has been using Bartender for years. We’re excited to continue delivering updates and improvements to make Bartender better than ever.

We are enhancing privacy in this update by removing Amplitude product analytics, which was added in version 5.0.52. This was originally included to count the number of users encountering issues with permissions outlined here: https://www.macbartender.com/Bartender5/PermissionIssues/.
