Amethyst vs Bartender

Amethyst is a free, open-source tiling window manager for macOS inspired by xmonad. It automatically arranges application windows into non-overlapping layouts using keyboard shortcuts, without requiring System Integrity Protection to be disabled. Amethyst supports multiple layout algorithms including tall, wide, fullscreen, and column layouts.

Bartender is a macOS utility that manages and hides menu bar icons to reduce clutter. It allows users to control which icons are always visible, hidden, or shown in a secondary bar accessible via click or hover.
