11 months ago Talking about this internally, we think it might be reasonable to hide the menu bar when a device is registered and passing checks. Outside those conditions the menubar provides a indication of those issues, and I'm quite hesitant to hide it.
The difficulty here, is that we don't have any configuration surface. I think we can do something, but it will probably involve a sentinel file and sudo.

11 months ago Just giving a plus one on this request. Understandable to feel the need to show the menu bar, but there are many ways Kolide notifications appear (Slack integrations, etc.) that it should be up to an individual user to hide the menu bar if needed.
Will likely be logging out until the option is there, personally.

7 months ago I noticed another similar menu bar item has a hide button in the drop down, then if action is ever requested it re-adds itself. I think that seems like a nice tradeoff
The menu doesn't offer any real convenience and clutters up the macos menu bar. It's common for most apps to give an option to hide it. There should be an option to remove or hide it especially when things are ok.
