Bar widget

A cap-proximity cue for the bar, answering one question: am I close to the day cap, or not? A track, a fill running to today’s credited minutes with the paid stretch solid inside it, and the cap as a notch you watch the fill close on. One glance, no arithmetic, nothing to read.

The widget lives in its own repo, espadat-studio/omarchy-tagwerk, and installs as an Omarchy plugin:

Terminal window
omarchy plugin add https://github.com/espadat-studio/omarchy-tagwerk --enable

Installed it before by copying /usr/share/tagwerk/omarchy/ out of the package? Remove the copy first, or the add fails with already installed:

Terminal window
omarchy plugin remove espadat.tagwerk
omarchy plugin add https://github.com/espadat-studio/omarchy-tagwerk --enable

The copy is not deleted: it moves to a hidden .espadat.tagwerk.bak.<timestamp> folder beside it, which the plugin catalog ignores.

What you see What it is
an empty track with the cap notched near its right end An empty day. The track spans the cap times 1.25, so 10 hours across 40px at an 8-hour cap: 4px per hour, and 30 minutes is 2px. The notch is the cap, always at 80%.
a translucent fill reaching halfway along the track 5:00 credited, none of it paid. The translucent fill is every credited minute, total_minutes.
a solid fill, then a translucent one, ending short of the notch 7:20 credited, 5:10 of it paid. The solid stretch is paid_minutes; the gap between the two edges is personal.
the fill reaching the notch, which still cuts through it 8:00 credited, exactly on the cap. The fill stops flush against the notch, because the cap sits at 80% of a track that runs to 125% of it.
a red fill running past the notch 9:00 credited, over_cap. Both segments switch to the theme’s urgent colour and the notch does not, so the hour past the cap stays readable: the notch is painted above the fill. There is no approaching colour — proximity is the fill’s length.

Hover prints work, personal, presence, and the time left or over. Click opens tagwerk week in the themed floating terminal. The widget lands on the right of the bar; omarchy bar move espadat.tagwerk relocates it.

It runs tagwerk day --json every 300 s and draws four rectangles. Nothing else: it never reads the ledger, never reads your config, and never re-implements the cap rule — over_cap arrives already computed (ADR-0011). Change refreshIntervalSec in the widget’s settings; below 15 minutes the fill moves less than a pixel, so the interval buys the notch crossing and nothing more.

omarchy plugin update espadat.tagwerk pulls a newer commit, and the shell hot-reloads the widget on the write. omarchy plugin disable espadat.tagwerk keeps it installed and only takes it off the bar; omarchy plugin remove espadat.tagwerk deletes it.
