About:
AnyBar is a lightweight macOS application that displays a colored dot in the menu bar to visually represent system or application status. It serves as a simple, extensible indicator that can be controlled via UDP commands, making it ideal for monitoring background processes and CI/CD pipelines.
Key Features:
  • Minimalist menu bar indicator with customizable colors
  • Controlled via simple UDP commands for easy scripting
  • Extensible through third-party integrations and scripts
  • Lightweight with no persistent UI or complex configuration
Use Cases:
  • Visual monitoring of long-running scripts or build processes
  • CI/CD pipeline status indicator for developers
  • System health or service availability dashboard element
Alternatives:
  • BitBar – More feature-rich with plugin support, but heavier than AnyBar's simple indicator approach
  • xbar – Plugin-based system tray app, offers more customization but requires more setup
