Could you build this?

No Creating a macOS menu bar tidier (like Bartender or Hidden Bar) requires low-level macOS private APIs, accessibility hooks, and window server manipulation that change with each macOS version and break standard sandboxing.

What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/Objective-C interacting with private CoreGraphics APIs, SkyLight framework, and Accessibility API to identify foreign status bar items, calculate display coordinates, and manipulate NSStatusBar windows. Deep reverse engineering of macOS WindowServer internals is necessary to reliably hide and reveal arbitrary third-party status bar items.
