A community-maintained collection of shell and Python scripts that extend Polybar, a status bar for Linux window managers. Each script acts as a Polybar module showing things like weather, media playback, battery status, VPN state, and package updates.

Use cases

  • show weather on my polybar status bar
  • display currently playing media via mpris in polybar
  • show pacman/aur package updates in my status bar
  • monitor vpn connection status in polybar
  • show unread imap email count in the status bar
  • display cpu temperature per core in polybar
  • show bluetooth and usb device status in my bar

When to avoid

  • you use a status bar other than Polybar
  • you need polished, guaranteed-working modules rather than scripts that may need customization
  • you want a GUI application
