Purpose: Overhang lists status bar items macOS has stopped drawing and lets you open their menus.
Menu bar icons: Each hidden item is listed with the icon of the app that owns it.
Settings: The app has settings for launching at login and enabling click-through.
Optional permission: Finding and listing items works without permissions; click-through optionally uses Accessibility.
Click-through limitation: Some apps handle mouse events in a way Overhang cannot press, in which case it brings the owning app to the front.
Display support: Overhang supports notched Macs, Macs without a notch, and external displays.
Network: A network connection is not required.
Privacy: Overhang collects, sends, and stores no user information and has no analytics, account system, or server.
Local data: The app reads menu bar icon positions, sizes, and owning applications in memory, then discards that information when it quits.
Security: The maker says release builds are signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple.
Distribution: The security policy identifies GitHub repository releases as the only official builds.
Support: The site directs users to GitHub Issues for support.
Maker: Nic Glazkov's site describes him as a computer science student at Santa Clara University.
