Empirically, at least on my machine (weasel words I know, sorry), I couldn't seem to make the defaults write "stick" if I performed it while Bluesnooze was still running. I was able to hide the menu bar icon by writing defaults when Bluesnooze was not already running, and similarly to get it showing again.

I'm not sure if something else in my environment was causing the issue, but these tweaked instructions might be more reliable? Up to the maintainer, I might have missed something!

FWIW, I have the same problem as stated here: #27 (comment)
No idea why, tried killing it before or after writing, doesn't matter

Interesting 🤔

What does defaults read com.oliverpeate.Bluesnooze hideIcon return on your machine?

It returns 1. The icon is still up there (despite being restarted after writing the value).

I will look more into this tonight, I am kind of new to MacOS so it might be another tool that is somehow missing with this (I have no idea).

IIRC I was seeing that defaults read return 0 until I killed the app before writing but I honestly can't remember. It's possible this docs PR doesn't really help anything. 🤔

Adding some anecdata: this works for me with the brew version but not downloading the .zip.
