I built i3title, a lightweight tool that makes it easy to pipe arbitrary data into i3bar.

I’ve been using it myself for a long time, and recently decided to polish it up and share it publicly.

By default, i3title uses the empty space in your bar to display the current window title and the active i3 mode side by side.

You can also pipe anything you find useful into it from your scripts or the command line.

Setup is just:

status_command i3status | i3title

It’s a lightweight enhancement to i3’s default status bar setup, turning otherwise unused space into a dynamic, highly customizable information panel.
