My situation is similar to `dwighttk` in the comments you link to, I have stats (as in `brew home stats`) showing CPU/GPU/RAM/Network, then the standard macOs stuff + magnet + weekday and full date and time and nothing is ever hidden by the notch when using the built in display.

So - since people DO have a problem - there must be other things that a lot of users want to see but none of them are mentioned in the link.

Perhaps you don't need to organize icons like other users do.

But for us who do, it is clearly essential.

And that's just from a quick glance.

Most users don't even know it's possible to improve their UI with this third party tool. I bet if they knew it would be considered very important to the mas well.

Specially power users who fight with screen space.
