Compatibility & requirements
Before installing simple-bar, you'll need to meet some prerequisites.
OS version
simple-bar has only be fully tested on several Intel based Macs and is working on Catalina, Big Sur & Monterey. I can't guaranty it will fully work on all M1 Macs.
Screen size
You'll need a screen with a size of 13" at least with your screen resolution scaled on "More space" setting.
simple-bar will work on smaller screens but you'll need to make a choice between the widgets you want to display.

Clone the simple-bar repo to your Übersicht widgets directory with the following command.
