What it is

Ice is a native macOS menu bar management application written in Swift that provides fine-grained control over menu bar item visibility and appearance. It hides/shows menu bar items on demand, supports always-hidden sections, hover/click/scroll-triggered reveals, and includes visual customization (tinting, shadows, borders, rounded corners). The core problem it solves: macOS menu bars become cluttered with system and app indicators, reducing screen real estate and visual clarity. Monolithic Xcode project structure: Ice/ directory contains all Swift source (602KB total), Assets.xcassets holds UI images (app icon, control item glyphs for Dot/Ellipsis/IceCube), and Ice.xcodeproj manages the…

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone: git clone https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice.git. Open Ice.xcodeproj in Xcode 15+. Build target 'Ice' (visible in Ice.xcscheme). No Package.json, Podfile, or Makefile detected—this is a pure Xcode/SwiftPM proje…

Daily commands:

Open Ice.xcodeproj in Xcode, select the 'Ice' scheme, press Cmd+R to build and run. No Makefile or npm scripts detected. Application runs as a macOS menu bar agent after launch.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Slowing — last commit 12mo ago
  • Small team — 4 contributors active in recent commits
  • Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 95% of recent commits
  • No Makefile or Package.swift discovered; build system is Xcode-only—contributors must have Xcode installed and macOS. Minimum deployment target is macOS 14 (Sonoma); features relying on newer AppKit APIs may break on…
  • Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
