This is awesome for folks who don't use their own custom status bar! Personally, I use SketchyBar and Yabai for window management. SketchyBar is shown almost all the time, but the status bar is set to hide unless I have my cursor at the top of my monitor. I like this because it's a good combo of having my "status bar items" all compacted on the right, with the useful information I want on the status bar at all times...such as battery level, current weather, volume, the date/time, as well as the focused window.

For those who don't want to install a custom status bar, this seems like it would solve similar problems of the status bar getting way too big with all these programs running in the background.
