This week’s “App-session” [obsession.. geddit?]

Playing with Loopback and Audio Hijack

Also I got this from somewhere – Vanilla

it’s somewhat like Bartender and it lets you rearrange or hide the icons on the right hand side of your menubar. It is free to use and only £3.20 to unlock the “Pro” version with a few more options (although Bartender costs about £12 it does more things) I have used it to put Spotlight, Siri, Fast User Switching and a bunch of other stuff in the pop out “hidden” section.
