About OnlySwitch
A smaller menu bar starts with one all-in-one switch. OnlySwitch puts everyday macOS controls—such as hiding desktop icons, changing appearance, keeping the Mac awake, and managing the notch—into one customizable menu-bar app. Add, remove, and reorder switches and Shortcuts, assign keyboard shortcuts, or place controls on the desktop as widgets.
