A progress bar that works everywhere — terminal, Jupyter, VS Code, Colab, Marimo.

everbar

A progress bar that works everywhere — terminal, Jupyter, JupyterLab, VS Code notebooks, Google Colab, Marimo, Pyodide, and CI logs. One API, the right backend per environment.

Status: 0.1.0 — alpha. API may shift.

Install

pip install everbar             # core only; uses text fallback if nothing else is installed
pip install "everbar[tqdm]"     # terminal + Jupyter via tqdm
pip install "everbar[all]"      # everything (tqdm, rich, ipywidgets, marimo)

Use

from everbar import Progress

for x in Progress(items, desc="Loading"):
    work(x)

with Progress(total=100, desc="Steps") as bar:
    for _ in range(100):
        do_step()
        bar.update(1)

Overrides

Progress(items, backend="terminal")        # per-call

EVERBAR_BACKEND=terminal python script.py  # env var

import everbar
everbar.set_default_backend("terminal")    # module-wide

How it picks a backend

everbar.detect_environment() returns one of: marimo, colab, kaggle, vscode_notebook, jupyter, jupyter_qt, spyder, databricks, pyodide, ipython_terminal, terminal, non_tty. Each maps to a backend, with graceful fallback to a log-line text mode when nothing better is available.
