What sort of things do you display with it?

Not OP as well but I love BitBar. I use it as a catch-all status and action menu at work. Here’s what I have:

- Display current git branch, useful for quickly looking up the task and task ID when I need to write it somewhere.

- Poll develop branch, parse and display the current sub module commit. Again for quick lookup when I need to reset that repo.

- A list of PRs and their status and ID (just open the menu to see the ID so I can easily find the relevant build in eg CI)

- A couple of bookmarks for usual websites to open

- A couple of bash scripts to delete certain folders

- A couple of shortcuts to open specific folders (eg snapshot folder)

- A simple HTTP status of a website I manage (it tended to break often, now I see if it is down within a minute)

Basically anything I do on a semi regular basis is literally one click away. I cannot recommend this tool enough.

Not parent, but I have bitbar menus for ssh’ing to digitalocean boxes, connecting to corporate vpn, and displaying uptime information from uptimerobot.
