SketchyBar is a highly customizable macOS status bar replacement designed around shell scripting and dynamic configuration. Every item can be created, removed, repositioned, or restyled while the bar is running. A powerful event system lets scripts react to workspace changes, application activity, system information, and custom events. The animation engine supports smooth transitions between visual states. Interactive items can respond to mouse actions and display popup menus on demand. SketchyBar can also show macOS menu bar applications, render arbitrary graphs, and integrate naturally with tiling window managers such as yabai.
