Hi HN! One of my favorite apps on macOS, Ice, stopped working when I updated to macOS 27 because the trick it relied on doesn't work anymore. The only thing I really needed from the app was the ability to hide menu bar items to the left of it, so I built Chest to do just that. There are other apps like this as well that try to use the menu bar part of macOS's exam mode to hide items, but that approach has some issues with the screen sharing, microphone, and camera indicators in the menu bar, which is rather troublesome for me. Chest works by emulating the "Allow in the Menu Bar" switches in S…

So I asked an LLM to write tests for everything to have a sensible baseline, split it out, and renamed everything. There probably is still…
