Spaced
Spaced is a macOS menu bar utility that adds separators so you can organize menu bar items into clearer visual groups.
What is Spaced?
Spaced is a macOS utility for organizing menu bar items into visually separated groups. It helps users create a cleaner, easier-to-scan menu bar by adding spacer items between icons and menus. This is most useful for people who keep many menu bar apps active at once and want a tidier layout on larger displays. The app focuses on a single job rather than acting as a full menu bar manager, so it complements other menu bar tools instead of replacing them. Spaced is published by Sindresorhus and is designed for Mac users who want a simple way to improve menu bar organization without changing how their apps work.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Spaced is a legitimate Mac utility for adjusting the visual organization of your menu bar. Its normal behavior is limited to adding separator items, and removing it simply stops those separators from appearing. If you use other menu bar management tools, they may affect how spacer positions are restored after restart, so it is wise to check your layout after making changes.
Recommendation: Keep Spaced if you actively use it to organize a busy menu bar. If you no longer want visual separators, you can remove it without affecting your documents or core macOS features, though your menu bar layout may look less organized afterward.
