1.0.0 — July 29, 2026

The first public release.

MonoBar

  • Monitor one website from your Mac menu bar: current status, response time, sampled uptime, response history, and recent checks.
  • Optional Provider Status: official Anthropic and OpenAI status feeds, off by default.
  • Local-first by design: no account, no telemetry, no cloud dashboard. Configuration and history stay on your Mac.
  • HTTPS-only monitoring with strict redirect and destination safeguards.
  • Numbers, times, and durations follow your system's region format.

Requirements: Apple Silicon, macOS 14 or later

Known limitations: checks run while MonoBar is open and monitoring is active — this is a local companion, not a 24/7 external service. Updates are a manual download; new versions are announced here.
