I don't know anything about mac os x. I pipe conky into my bar. I use the following command:
#+begin_src sh emacsclient -e "(my/org-clocked-in)" | cut -d '"' -f 2 #+end_src Here is the function I call. I might have stolen it from somewhere, but I haven't written a source in my .emacs. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun my/org-clocked-in () "I use this small function to write what I am doing in my taskbar (conky piped into i3bar). " (concat (if (not (eq org-clock-current-task nil)) (message " Working on: " ) (message "")) org-clock-current-task (if (not (eq org-clock-current-task nil)) (message " |" ) (message "")))) #+end_src Judging from this¹ you wont be able to get it in the dock easily though. —Rasmus Footnotes: ¹ http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/19539/add-info-to-dock-menubar-from-shell-in-macosx -- Sent from my Emacs
