OverhangThe short version
Overhang collects nothing, sends nothing and stores nothing about you. It has no analytics, no account system and no server. This page explains that in more detail.
Information we collect
Personal information
None. Overhang never asks for your name, email address or any other identifying detail.
Usage data and analytics
None. There is no usage reporting, no crash reporting, no event tracking and no device or installation identifier.
What the app reads on your Mac
To do its job, Overhang reads the position, size and owning application of the icons in your menu bar. This is how it works out which icons macOS has stopped drawing.
That information is used in memory, on your Mac, and is discarded when the app quits. It is never written to a log, never sent anywhere, and never shared with anyone.
What is saved between launches
One preference, whether launch at login is enabled. It is stored in the standard macOS preferences file for the app and never leaves your Mac.
Permissions
Accessibility, optional
If you enable click through, Overhang uses the Accessibility API only to press a status item that you selected from its menu. It does not read screen contents, does not read keystrokes, and does not inspect other applications beyond the menu bar item you asked it to open.
You can decline this permission and keep using the app. Clicking a hidden item then brings its app to the front instead.
Third parties
No data is collected, shared, sold or disclosed to anyone.
This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may keep standard server logs for requests to it, which is outside our control and covered by GitHub's privacy statement. Downloading a release from GitHub is likewise subject to their policy.
Children
Overhang is a utility with no accounts, no content and no data collection, so it is suitable for all ages and collects nothing from anyone regardless of age.
Changes and contact
If this policy ever changes, the updated date at the top will change with it and the revision will be visible in the repository history.
Questions about privacy can be raised as an issue on GitHub.
