Sign-in codes code
Read from mail arriving now and dropped in over whatever you're doing, ready to copy. When a code could be two things, the part you pick is remembered for that sender.

Your apps, in the Kite bar.
Send JSON from any script on your PC. Kite draws it at the top of your screen, in its own look, and tells you what was clicked.
Built in
Three things Kite puts there, then yours.
One queue for all of it. One thing shows at a time; the rest wait beside it as chips, one click to bring one forward.

Two minutes before it starts, from your calendar or the invites in your mail. It counts down by itself and Join opens the call.

The API
Send JSON, get a bar.
Make a token in Kite → Settings → Kite bar, then call it from anything that speaks HTTP. You never ship UI.
House rules
Your words, Kite's look.
Kite draws every activity from its fields, so a bar from a script feels like one from Kite and nothing can hijack your screen.

Values
Text, a code with its own Copy button, a progress bar with a label, or a countdown that ticks by itself.
text · code · progress · countdownActions
Up to three buttons, the last one the main one. Open a page, copy some text, or tell your script.

Passive arrives as one quiet line, normal drops open for a moment, high goes ahead of whatever is waiting.
passive · normal · highEvents
One server-sent stream per integration: which button was pressed, what was closed, what ran out.
ready · action · dismissed · expiredLimits
60 calls a minute and 20 live activities each. For something busy, update one key instead of sending new ones.

Questions
Before you ship it.
Do I need Kite running?
Yes. The Kite bar is part of the Kite desktop app, and the API lives on the same computer at
127.0.0.1:3100. Activities live in Kite's memory: they end when they expire, when you close them, or when Kite restarts.What can I build with it?
Anything that finishes, changes or needs a click: builds and deploys, test runs, timers, a song, a price alert, a long training run.
node scripts/bar-demo.mjs <token> runs a pretend deploy and is the template for your own.Which languages work?
Any that can make an HTTP request: curl, PowerShell, Node with plain
fetch, Python's standard library. No SDK, no packages.Can a web page use it?
No. Requests carrying an
Origin header are refused, so a site you visit can't put anything on your screen. Only programs on your computer with a token can.Does anything I send leave my computer?
No. Kite draws it from the fields and keeps it in memory. Links open in your browser only when you click them.
