What is new in MenuBarCollapse 1.0.0

# MenuBarCollapse v1.0.0

MenuBarCollapse is a tiny, native menu bar divider that hides crowded icons behind a single click. ⌘-drag icons to the left of the divider, click the chevron to hide or show them, and let the auto-hide timer tuck them away again. It needs no special permissions and has no backend.

## Highlights

- One-click chevron to collapse and expand hidden icons
- Configurable auto-hide timer (or Off)
- Global hotkey (default ⌥⌘B), re-recordable
- Optional expand on hover and hide-chevron-when-expanded
- Line or dot divider style
- Quick menu on right-click or Option-click
- Launch at login
- Icons are restored when you quit while collapsed
- Warns if the divider is on the wrong side of the chevron or the bar is too crowded

## Install

Download `MenuBarCollapse-macOS.zip`, unzip it and move the app to `/Applications`. The app is open source and not notarized, so run:

```bash
xattr -cr /Applications/MenuBarCollapse.app
```

Then right-click the app → Open the first time. Requires macOS 14+.
