1 month ago I can definitely implement an option to display the items in a menu, but I don't think it's possible to display the item menus as sub-menus. The next best option is to show the item when it's clicked, then have it present its menu (similar to what the Ice Bar currently does).

1 month ago This would be incredible. The sub-menu display would be neat but is far from critical. If clicking the menu item from the vertical menu opens the item in the menu bar, that would solve 95% of my problem.
The big win for me would be the menu list of all bar items from the menu bar, with the icon and!! the app's name displayed as text.

Description
An overlooked quality-of-life feature that I have never found in any menu bar manager is the ability to display all menu bar items as a vertical list, including the bar icon and item name.
My wish would be to hide 90% of my menu bar items, but display my menu bar manager icon in the menu bar. Clicking on that item would present a vertical list view of all my menu bar services with not only their icon but also the service name, so I can more quickly pinpoint what I need and select it from the list. Displaying the name is critical because I have 30+ menu bar items and struggle to immediately recall which icon I'm looking for in order to activate the item I have in mind. To make matters worse, a number of utilities don't make it obvious what they are/do even when clicked because their only options include vague "Settings" and "About" instead of something more useful like "About app-name."
Because most menu bar items present sub-menus when clicked, it would be banger if these sub-menus are displayed when clicking a menu bar item from the drop down list.
I will happily sponsor Jordan if this feature is added!
