  • i3blocks

    The hacker-friendly status_command for Sway and i3

  • And I know you said "not always visible" but both battery and volume are reported in my i3blocks status bar and the whole thing is like 8 pixels high so 🤷‍♂️

  • simple-osd-daemons

    Mirror of https://code.balsoft.ru/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons

  • I have written a little tool that does something similar: it shows current volume, music track, battery percentage etc when they change (it's a bit like the OSD you see in DEs, but for your WM). Get the source here: https://github.com/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • sowm

    An itsy bitsy floating window manager (220~ sloc!).

  • I like to keep things as simple as possible, so I use a window manager called sowm. I think I will go down the notify-send path. Thank you.
