faff-menubar-mac

A simple service to render the current task in the menubar.

Installation

Install into your faff virtualenv:

pip install -e .

Then register and start the LaunchAgent:

launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.tom.faff-menubar.plist

Usage

# Restart (after code changes)
launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.tom.faff-menubar

# Stop
launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.tom.faff-menubar.plist

# Start
launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.tom.faff-menubar.plist

# Check logs
tail -f ~/Library/Logs/faff-menubar.log

The LaunchAgent starts automatically at login and restarts if it crashes.

Since the package is installed in editable mode, changes to source files take effect after restarting the agent.
