Option to remove the Boxvy menu bar icon on macOS

Feature Request

Thanks to the stupid notch on MacBooks menu bar space is at a premium so an option to hide the Boxvy menu bar icon would be appreciated. Most utilities that I've used which allow you to hide the menu bar icon will show their configuration interface/window when you launch the application while it's already running.

    I see this is marked rejected, but this is a good idea. Once I’ve configured my widgets, I don’t need the Boxvy icon itself. Once in a while I might go back to it to tweak something, but 99% of the time it’s wasting space in the menu bar. I have several utilities on my system that have the option for displaying in the Dock, the menubar, in neither, or in both. Bringing back Boxvy’s UI by launching it a second time is exactly how the utilities that offer the option work as well. I encourage the developers of Boxvy to reconsider this suggestion.

      Hi, could you mention one or a few apps that include this feature? We’d like to review some examples to get inspiration for a strong and well-designed implementation.
