I've made a CLI tool if anyone is interested. I use it for temporary watch though, like while editing text files that needs compilation or something. But could use for OP's use case, like converting any downloaded .docx to pdf.

• polybar-scripts

  26 2,388 6.4 Shell

  This is a community project. We write and collect scripts for polybar!

  

This doesn't directly answer your question, but probably has the pieces here for you to put together. I use this script for polybar using openweather API, there are a couple variations of this script in the repo too if you want more examples. Openweather API seems to work well though, you could probably modify it for you use case.

• btrfs-auto-cancel-scrub

  2 1 1.8 Python

  Auto cancel btrfs scrubbing before shutdown/reboot

I wrote my systemd service to counter that.

• scripts

  5 4 0.0 Shell

  Some basic Bash scripts/wrappers (by brianbuccola)

The weather one is pretty straightforward: it pulls weather info from openweathermap.org. But please make sure to create and use your own API key.
