What is xbar?
xbar is a macOS application that lets you run scripts and display their output in the system menu bar. It is a modern reboot of the BitBar project, built using Go and the Wails framework to create a cross-platform desktop app experience. It solves the problem of needing quick, customizable access to system information or any scriptable data directly from your menu bar.
macOS users, developers, and power users who want to monitor system metrics, automate tasks, or display custom information in their menu bar without complex setup.
Developers choose xbar for its simplicity, extensive plugin ecosystem, and compatibility with any scripting language. Its open-source nature and active community provide a reliable and flexible alternative to proprietary menu bar utilities.
