StableBar is a free, open-source menu bar for macOS written in Swift. Set it up in a Settings window or one JSON file instead of shell scripts. It shows AeroSpace, yabai or OmniWM workspaces, widgets with popups and seven themes, and you edit it on the bar.
Hi Product Hunt! A friend and I built StableBar, a free and open-source menu bar for macOS written in Swift.
It's an alternative to SketchyBar: you get the same control over the bar, but you set it up in a Settings window or in one JSON file instead of shell scripts.
The scripts still work, since any command that prints text or JSON can become a widget.
workspaces from AeroSpace, yabai or OmniWM, or plain macOS Spaces
app menus, calendar, battery, sound, network and CPU/memory widgets, with popups
seven themes, drag-and-drop editing right on the bar, one bar per display
a widget store that shows a package's commands, hosts and permissions before anything runs
We'd love to hear what you'd add. We react fast to feedback!
