How this project is maintained

Around half of the issues opened in the past year never receive a reply. 99% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. 83% of tracked open issues have had no activity in three months, so the open count overstates what is actively being worked. Only 2% of issues opened in the past year have been closed. Three people close 73% of everything that gets resolved.

Detailed Description

Ice is a menu bar manager for macOS that organizes and controls the appearance of menu bar items.

The menu bar on macOS can become cluttered with numerous application icons and status indicators, making it difficult to find what you need. Ice solves this by providing a unified interface to hide, show, and organize menu bar items. The tool lets users create custom sections within the menu bar, control visibility of items, and manage their layout without requiring modifications to individual applications.

Ice suits macOS users who accumulate many menu bar applications and want to reclaim screen real estate while maintaining quick access to frequently used items. It works best for those who prefer a clean desktop aesthetic but still need their menu bar utilities available on demand. The project is built with SwiftUI and Swift, making it a native macOS application that integrates naturally with the system.

The project shows consistent development activity with regular updates and refinements to its core functionality. The codebase demonstrates attention to user experience details in menu bar management. Development has focused on stability and expanding the range of menu bar customization options available to users.
