This looks like a clone of iStat Menus which I had installed for years and years till one day I realized I basically never look at it and the icons were just taking up space in my menu bar. I finally un-installed it. The activity monitor in my dock set to show CPU is sufficient for my needs.
Windows doesn't have a programmable equivalent does it? Last time I messed around with this stuff I got by with an Electron app and using browser desktop notifications but I think I couldn't actually modify the taskbar/put icons somewhere.
I've heard about running them directly from SMB but have never been the kind of person to try out such a stunt https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/#sysinternals...
I've been for many years a happily paying customer of iStat Menus [1], from which this seem to be the heavily inspired of. [1] https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/

Because programs can not register an icon to minimize the apps to the menubar app while providing core functionality and info via a context menu and tooltips, at least AFAIK.
Spotify can do that, so apparently it's an option even though not very common.

Any app can, provided they build a menu item. Most apps don't, and those that do don't usually connect the presentation of the menu to an action in the app, it just runs alongside the app (e.g. Kaleidoscope). But you could do that if you wanted.

Looks like the features are very similar. Is there anything the commercial product does that the open source doesn't?
I've used both, and I think Bartender was a little more polished, UI wise.

wasn’t deep or nun, lowkey just wanted to help, learned this terminal thingy here fs I have a system prompt for haiku to convert messages to genz slang. I use it to confuse friends with it sometimes and we have a laugh. I had the instructions somewhere stored and just wanted to rewrite them before posting them here because I am paranoid and did not remember if i posted them verbatim in another place with another user…
Totally off topic, but it's funny how much of "modern" slang (whatever the generation) is present in hip hop culture years before. I noticed that when "twerk" became a thing; I remembered songs about twerking from years before that. In this case, the term "bet": I remembered hearing that for the first time in the late 1980s in a song by Fresh Prince (Will Smith): "... bet, well let's go then..." (As We Go, 1988)
it phones home, make sure to disable its internet connection using Lulu or something.
Checking for updates is not the same as "phoning home".
