Hi!

When extensively working with Netbird for a long time, I noticed many times, that it suddenly disappears from top bar of Mac OS.
Looks like:

One may see that there is no Netbird icon.

It should look like:

Screenshot 2024-06-28 at 16 11 35

or netbird icon should be orange (active). But I see otherwise.

After that when I click on NetBird application - it does not appear in top bar, but focus is jumping back to Finder window. It is very weird. But it helps to restart the laptop - then again everything is fine.

@gecube can you confirm if the app is visible after closing some of the other apps in the top bar?

To clarify, you removed the other apps and NetBird wasn't visible?

Looks that for some reason NetBird.app is shut downing...

I have the same issue. How do you run UI manually?
Running /Applications/NetBird.app/Contents/MacOS/netbird-ui doesn't work for me...

If I install using brew install netbird netbird-ui it works fine, but not with the PKG.

You have to change the order in the bar.

In my case this was the solution..

The problem in my case was related to the camera in the middle of the top screen, where no symbols are showing.

You can hold down the Command key to reorder icons in the Menu bar.

This also happens for me when I have AeroSpace app enabled. When I disable it - the icon is visible in the top bar.
