I’ve been a paying user since 2015. This makes me sad, as it’s one of my most beloved utilities and this isn’t a good look. I’ll keep running it without updating until it stops working or I find a replacement that I like. Also:

It’s honestly wild that the core feature of Bartender (hiding icons in the menu bar) isn’t builtin to macOS.
If you hold command you can click on an icon and drag it out to remove it or drag it left or right to reorganize the menu bar icons. Baked in, no extra app needed
Removing isn’t the same as hiding.
