| Permissions | ChocolateBar requires Accessibility permission to read and click menu bar items and list active windows. | Accessibility is used for discovery, activation, and layout management; Screen Recording is used to capture selected menu bar icons. |
| Privacy | The maker says the app only contacts its servers when checking for updates and that nothing leaves the Mac during its menu bar and window functions. | The app runs locally and says it has no analytics, advertising, telemetry, or network data collection. |
| Purpose | ChocolateBar manages a crowded Mac menu bar by hiding third-party icons or displaying them in a second row with open app windows. | OverflowBar hides selected menu bar status icons behind an arrow and reveals them in a second row. |
