Build Status Coverage Status MIT License

A fast and easy-to-use tool for creating status bars.

Please report any issues or bugs you may find by creating an issue ticket here on GitHub. Make sure you include steps on how to reproduce it. There's also an irc channel available at freenode, cleverly named #polybar.
