I want the bar to display exactly the information that I want at a glance and depending on the work I am doing. When I am on my virtual desktop for coding, for example, I want to see how my system is impacted by the code I write, if there are new issues on git, and even system utilization can be a relevant metric for some tasks.<br> My productivity increased greatly by using a custom menu bar and I highly recommend it to all of you that are living with their respective default os menu bar. For macOS I can really recommend <a href="https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyBar">https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyBar</a> and on Linux <a href="https://github.com/polybar/polybar">https://github.com/polybar/polybar</a></p> productivity
