Introduction

a-bar is a native macOS menu bar replacement inspired by simple-bar. It is built with Swift and SwiftUI and runs as a standalone app (no Übersicht required).

It focuses on performance, stability, and extensibility, while keeping the workflow-oriented experience of a customizable bar that surfaces your spaces, windows, and system status.

This documentation walks you through installation, configuration, layout building, widgets, and settings so you can tailor a-bar to your workflow.

Note of caution: Even in v1.x.x, a-bar stays in early development. Expect bugs, missing features, and breaking changes. Feedback and contributions are welcome!
