I use Hidden Bar (https://github.com/dwarvesf/hidden) for this. It works well enough despite not being updated in a while, though there is a bit of jank. Just tried out Ice and it seems to be a nice, lower jank replacement! - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

I switched to HiddenBar a few years ago when a Bartender licence ran out. It's open source, it's free, and it hasn't been taken over by a new owner who won't identify themselves. https://github.com/dwarvesf/hidden. - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

The open-source Hidden Bar is my current solution to this problem, but I think I prefer this native fix. https://github.com/dwarvesf/hidden

  brew install --cask hiddenbar

Put a slightly less than 2hr timer (e.g. I use this https://chris.dziemborowicz.com/apps/hourglass/ but any similar would do), if you are not sure then uninstall and ask for a refund. EZ PZ. Source: almost 3 years ago

Try https://tomighty.github.io/ or https://chris.dziemborowicz.com/apps/hourglass/ - when minimized to taskbar icon it shows time progress as a background colour. If you find something better let me know. I also looking for a regular clock in taskbar (hour & minutes only). Source: almost 3 years ago
