Show HN: Barstool, a Prettier macOS Menubar
barstool.lotl.devI really hate the way the macOS menu bar looks, and how crowded it gets with all my apps' Menubar menus.
Barstool lets me still see the time/date and other useful info while hiding the menubar. I can see wifi connectivity, date, time, and battery all the time.
The app also observes system notifications to surface now playing state, (Apple) calendar events, and volume/brightness changes.
I've had to do a lot of finking with mac PrivateFrameworks as apple loves to make all the interesting data unavailable through official sources/APIs.
Happy to get any feedback/questions! Looks super cool, is there a trial or do I have to buy it first to even try it ? Looks great. Is it open source?
