SketchyBar
A highly customizable, scriptable, and fast status bar replacement for macOS, designed for users who enjoy shell scripting.
What is SketchyBar?
SketchyBar is a macOS status bar replacement that offers extensive customization through shell scripting and an event-driven architecture. It solves the limitation of macOS's native menu bar by allowing users to dynamically add, animate, and control every element, from system stats to interactive graphs. It's built for users who want a lightweight, scriptable alternative to static bar solutions.
Power users, developers, and tinkerers on macOS who enjoy customizing their desktop environment with shell scripts and want full control over their status bar's functionality and appearance.
Developers choose SketchyBar for its unparalleled flexibility—every element is dynamically configurable via scripting—and its performance-optimized design. Unlike other bar tools, it combines a powerful event system with native macOS app support, making it both versatile and efficient.
