Could you build this?
Partial Manipulating, hiding, and re-arranging third-party macOS menu bar items relies on private macOS APIs, accessibility hooks, and fragile OS-level window server reverse-engineering that regularly break across macOS releases.
What it would actually take: A native Swift/Objective-C app interacting with macOS's SkyLight/CoreGraphics private window server APIs and accessibility permissions (AXUIElement) to discover, inspect, and reposition status bar items across restarts. The hardest challenge is dealing with undocumented Apple private APIs and sandboxing constraints to manipulate system and third-party menu bar items stably.
