(It worked with all the plug-ins for BitBar that I’d built.) And there are some nice additional features under development, including support for Apple’s SFSymbols icon library. SwiftBar is written in Swift-it’s in the name!-and aims to compatible with any BitBar plugins. Now Playing, indoor and outdoor air quality, and temperature status. It’s a drag to see a utility you rely on fade away, but I’m happy to report that there’s a spiritual successor to BitBar, SwiftBar, in active development led by Alex Mazanov. Unfortunately, it came to my attention a few months ago that Ryer had largely moved on from BitBar development, just as Big Sur arrived and caused a bunch of cosmetic issues. In the past, I’ve used Mat Ryer’s BitBar to put all sorts of information in my menu bar, including the current temperature, air quality, and even live listeners to podcast streams. That’s because there’s already a great place to display information, and it’s visible at all times: the menu bar. They’re supported on macOS Big Sur, too, but I don’t bother with widgets there. One of my favorite features of iOS 14 is its support for home-screen widgets. SwiftBar lets you disable plugins without dragging files around. Note: This story has not been updated since 2020. SwiftBar steps up to provide ambient data in the menu bar
