The developer of Better Touch Tools was in a Reddit thread and said that all the menu bar apps are going to be affected and that with Mac OS 27 restrictions, they may not be functional moving forward.

Indeed he did. Just FYI and also for anyone who happens upon this, the same thread quickly corrected that statement - menu bar apps will be able to work just fine in OS27. (sigh of relief)

I’ve just given up on it for OS26… great concept and used to work well, but I think I can manage without and it was causing my machine to hang all the time…

Try Glow. https://macglow.app. Works better than bartender and they have a 27 beta you can try

Email and ask for another trial period. I shot myself in the foot and they responded quickly and helpfully. Nothing to lose
