Menu bar getting crowded?Tuck it away on macOS 27.
Hide the icons you rarely use and bring them back with one click.
When you're done, Auto Collapse tidies up on its own.
Starting with macOS 27, icons that don't fit move into the system's hidden items. Tools that push them away with a giant spacer no longer hide anything. Auto Collapse is built for the new menu bar.
