My first license was from 2015. This is one of the most important utilities I install on all my Macs. I'm sad to see this apparently (and appearance is all that really counts at a moment like this) shifty behavior from the new owners. Hope the original dev got a nice payday.

I plan to keep running the app without updating until it breaks or I find something I like better. I hate when beloved software (effectively) goes away.

Does it do anything except cosmetic changes?

Its core feature is a non-cosmetic change: it hides the menubar app icons, and then shows them on-demand. The ability to make cosmetic changes to the menubar is a comparatively recent development.
