TextBar Puts Any Text on Your Menu Bar
Mac: Sometimes you want instant access to a string of data, but you don’t want to waste space launching an application. TextBar is a small utility that allows you to put any text string on the menu bar, including shell commands and other scripts.
You can customize the TextBar to whatever you need, including creating a custom date indicator, showing the remaining battery power, your public IP address, the song currently playing, and more . In theory, this is one of those Mac apps that needs a bit of tinkering before you can use it, but it’s worth it. The MacStories roundup has many sample scripts and other ideas to help you get started.
