A yabai status bar widget for Übersicht. This is a simplified version of simple-bar.

• Display workspace number/label & current space
• Navigate to workspace on click
• Battery, microphone, sound level, wifi, date time widgets out of the box
• You can add your own custom widgets in settings

Compatibility & requirements

In order to make this custom bar work, you'll need to install both yabai and Übersicht, both of them must be up to date.

simple-bar-lite supports only yabai v4 and above.

Becareful, for Big Sur users, some actions must be taken in order to make yabai with scripting addition fully operational: see here for more details.

simple-bar-lite has been tested and is working on Monterey, Ventura & Sonoma but should work on both Catalina & Big Sur.

It is important to note that you'll need to use yabai in bsp or stack layout mode in order to prevent app windows to overlap simple-bar.
