How to Hide "Open Bar"?

By default, SideNotes is shown using Open Bar: a transparent horizontal strip in the middle of the right side of the screen. Sometimes, it might be too obstructive for some users, and they would like the Open Bar to disappear completely. Or at least most times. Especially, when they open the app using keyboard shortcut only, or by clicking the menubar icon.

SideNotes offers 3 options for Open Bar visibility. You will find it in Settings > General > Hide Open Bar. You can choose:

• never (default option)
• when mouse is inactive – hides open bar after a few seconds of mouse cursor inactivity. This option is probably the best for most users
• always (available in Hot Side and Menubar Icon modes)
