I built Lounge because I as frustrated with the lack of good menu bar manages on macOS Tahoe. I do not favor other alternatives(such as: bartender) , they require screen recording permissions.
The notch problem is real: it physically hides icons, so you can't even click on them. Lounge solves this with a notch-aware hover pane — just move your cursor near the notch and all your hidden icons slide into a beautiful, organized view. Beyond that, Lounge brings drag & drop re-arranging, a keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+L), a clean single-panel settings UI.
