Three lanes, and you are done
Drag each icon into Shown, Hidden or Always hidden. Press Apply to the menu bar and the arrangement is written into each app’s own settings.
Push the icons you never touch behind a divider and bring them back only when you need them. Their menus open in place, still hidden.

Every one of these lives in the menu bar. You probably do not need all of them out at once.
Menu bar apps put themselves there and stay. Past a certain number the left of the clock turns into a row of small shapes, and on a Mac with a notch the overflow simply disappears.
With twenty shapes of the same size, finding one costs you a beat.
Anything past the notch stays out of reach. The icon you want never appears.
What you want to watch while streaming is not what you want while writing.
Percentages, badges and graphs come through unchanged. Nothing is replaced with a lookalike.
Koffret shows hidden icons exactly as they look and opens their menus without unfolding the bar.

Rest the pointer, scroll, or click the notch. Switch off the ones you do not use, and set how long revealed icons stay out.

Rules
Battery level, a time range, the app in front, or the exit code of a script you wrote. The icon stays out while it holds and slips back when it stops.
While the condition holds, the icon you chose is brought out to the bar.

The far-left mark
Twelve shapes, from an apple and a heart to a crown and the Koffret crest, or an image of your own. Fill it with the six stripes, one colour or a gradient, and set the size and the angle.
Rest the pointer on the menu bar, scroll over it, or click the notch. Turn on only the gestures you want, and set how long revealed icons stay out.
When a hidden icon changes, when the battery drops below a level you set, while on battery power, during a time range, while a given app is in front, or while a script you wrote exits with 0. The icon stays out as long as the condition holds and slips back when it stops.
Type part of a name and the item appears, wherever it sits. Pick it and its menu opens right away. The shortcut is ⌃⌥S.
Among the paid apps built to organise the menu bar, this is the cheapest one.

One-time purchase Tax included where applicable
A one-time licence covers the major version you bought (1.x, for example) with no time limit, and every fix in that line keeps arriving. When a new major version ships, we offer you an upgrade at a reduced price.
No. Download it and every feature works for fourteen days.
To show hidden icons exactly as they look, Koffret reads the drawing of the menu bar strip. It reads that strip only. Nothing is stored and nothing leaves your Mac.
Running them together makes both fight over the same item positions and neither behaves. Keep only the one you want.
No. It is a one-time purchase of $14.99, and it covers the major version you bought with no time limit.
Because this is a digital product, we do not, as a rule, refund payments already made. The fourteen-day trial is there so you can decide first. If the app does not work because of a fault on our side, we will deal with it individually.
