Good to know
Hemmed needs Accessibility access to move other apps' menu bar icons and, for Pinned, to read another app's menu bar menu while you pick an item and to choose that item when you run the pin. macOS asks for it the first time you open the app, and Hemmed doesn't use that access for anything else.
On macOS 27, hiding icons also hides Focus, Now Playing and Screen Mirroring. You can still reach them from the tray.

FAQ
Hemmed needs Accessibility access to move other apps' menu bar icons and, for Pinned, to read another app's menu bar menu while you pick an item and to choose that item when you run the pin. macOS asks for it the first time you open the app, and Hemmed doesn't use that access for anything else.
Click the Hemmed icon to bring them back, and click again to tuck them away. You can also use a keyboard shortcut, or open the dropdown tray without expanding the bar.
Pinned lets you run an item from another app's menu bar menu in one click, from Hemmed's menu. Right-click the Hemmed icon, choose Pin a Menu Item, pick a menu bar item and pin the item you want. Submenus work too, and you can rename, reorder and remove pins. The first time you run a pin, Hemmed asks you to confirm, and warns you if the item looks like it may quit, sign out, delete or stop something. If a pin can't run, Hemmed shows a notice saying why and marks the pin until it runs again.
Switches, checkboxes, sliders and checked menu items can't be pinned, so a pin can't quietly flip a setting. Clock and Notification Center are excluded because they show private notifications, and Control Center modules and Spotlight open panels rather than menus. Pinned never reads what's inside a window.
On macOS 27, hiding icons also hides Focus, Now Playing and Screen Mirroring. You can still reach them from the tray.
