AnyBar is a small indicator for your menubar that does one simple thing: it displays color dot. What color means is up to you. When to change color is also up to you.

AnyBar is controlled via UDP port. Send it a message and it will change a color:

echo -n "black" | nc -4u -w0 localhost 1738

Following “commands” change color:

• black
• blue
• cyan
• green
• orange
• purple
• red
• white
• yellow

And one special command forces AnyBar to quit: quit

Default port for AnyBar is 1738, you can change it by providing ANYBAR_PORT environment variable:

ANYBAR_PORT=1788 open ./AnyBar.app

or

ANYBAR_PORT=1788 ./AnyBar.app/Contents/MacOS/AnyBar &

(this way you can run multiple instances of AnyBar)
