Spec score 7.1 #24 of 34 in Taskbar Customization Software

What it is

YASB Reborn is a free, open-source Windows status bar built around widgets, live data, and custom automations. It includes more than 50 widgets for system statistics, workspaces, media, utilities, and integrations. Native integrations with GlazeWM and Komorebi can display workspace and tiling information. YAML files define bars, screens, widget positions, update settings, and actions, while CSS handles imports, variables, scoped widget styling, animations, and live hot-reloading. Different or mirrored bars can run across multiple monitors, and one monitor can host multiple bars. YASB is designed for Windows 11 and also works on Windows 10 through Win32 APIs. Installation options include x64 and ARM64 MSI files, WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, Python, or source builds. It operates locally and says it does not collect or centrally store personal information. The project uses the MIT License.
