Description

Story Title

As a user, I want to be able to hide the menu bar on Mac

Description

User story

As a Mac user, I want to be able to right click the Toolhive icon in menu bar, go to Settings, and set Hide Menu Bar icon.

Context

On a regular Mac screen, menu bar entries can easily end up being so numerous that important entries end up invisible. To free up space for the most important ones, we need to be able to hide ones we don't regularly need.

Acceptance Criteria
  • [] It is possible to hide the Menu Bar icon for Toolhive on Mac

Research direction

Start by locating the macOS menu-bar entry and the Settings screen described in the issue. Verify how the menu-bar icon is currently shown and how preferences are stored, then implement the requested hide setting; done means a Mac user can right-click the Toolhive icon, enable Hide Menu Bar icon, and have the icon disappear.
