# Dimble (open-source desktop utility)

> Dimble is a free, open-source desktop utility for macOS. A calm menu bar, done the native way. Hides the icons you don't need until you do. It has 945 GitHub stars and is released under the GPL-3.0 license. Its source code is on GitHub at fif7y/dimble.

Dimble hides the icons you don't need until you do. Hover, click or press a shortcut and they slide back in, or open in a panel. Small on purpose (three sections, an editor, ⌘-drag in the bar) and native all the way down. macOS does the hiding. Built for the menu bar Apple rebuilt in macOS 27. Free, open source, no account, no analytics.
