Barik

A lightweight macOS menu bar replacement for use with yabai or AeroSpace.

Note: This is a personal fork of mocki-toki/barik tailored to my needs. Not accepting contributions. No promises of support or maintenance.

Keep Awake uses the system-wide pmset disablesleep switch so it also covers a closed MacBook when an external display disconnects. The first state change asks for administrator approval to install a persistent current-user rule limited to the SHA-256-pinned pmset disablesleep 0 and 1 commands. Later toggles do not prompt. Removing Barik does not remove that rule from /private/etc/sudoers.d.

Improvements over upstream

• Event-driven updates via Darwin notifications
• Sleep/wake handling for background services
• Per-widget calendar configuration
• Light theme support with proper colors
• Refined typography matching macOS system style
• Drag-and-drop widget reordering, persisted to the config
• Right-click menu for toggling widgets and opening the config

Mouse jiggler

Option-click the coffee cup to toggle the mouse jiggler. A mouse icon appears next to the cup while enabled. After 30 seconds without input, it moves the pointer one point and back; it skips dragging, held modifiers, and locked sessions. Option-click again to stop just the jiggler, or click normally to turn off Keep Awake and the jiggler together. The jiggler starts off after every Barik restart.

macOS may ask for Accessibility permission on first use. Allow Barik in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility, then Option-click again. Website session timeouts may still apply.

For an explicit local launch with the jiggler enabled, quit Barik and run open /Applications/Barik.app --args --mouse-jiggler. Normal launches still start with the jiggler off. The running app reports its PID, permission state, and observed nudge count in ~/Library/Application Support/Barik/jiggler-status.json; check the PID and timestamp before relying on that file.

The Codex daily allowance uses the server's full weekly window (100% over seven 24-hour days), reserving quota from the next local midnight until reset. Partial days are prorated and the reserve is rounded up. Savings carry forward; a negative today percentage means usage is ahead of that plan. The minus sits outside the number's layout, so it does not shift the digits. Resets before 06:00 belong to the preceding evening. The countdown includes remaining hours and the popup shows the exact local reset date, time, and timezone.
