The pulse of your stack, right in the menu bar.
EthosBar watches GitHub,
AWS,
Stripe,
OpenAI,
Cloudflare and 95+ more in the background. Green icon — ship. Pulsing red — check the cloud before you check your code.
Coverage
The developer community's top 100+.
Not a random list of 7,000 — a curated set of the services your stack actually depends on, actively shaped by developer votes. Every status page is polled every minute by a Cloudflare Worker and cached, so your app reads one endpoint, not 100+ separate pages.

Why EthosBar exists
Built after a specific afternoon that ended in a thirty-second fix and an hour of wasted debugging. The icon was pulsing red the whole time. One click would have shown it: Cloudflare maintenance. That was the entire problem.
EthosBar moves that check to before the terminal opens.
Without
Something breaks. Terminal, logs, restarts. Forty minutes later — red banner on a status page. It was there before lunch.
With EthosBar
Icon pulses red. One click. Stripe is degraded. Post in Slack, make coffee, wait it out.
Quiet by default. Loud when it matters.
Designed around the idea that the best monitoring tool is one you never have to think about — until the moment it saves you.
Zero-Tab Monitoring
One icon in your menu bar replaces thirty browser bookmarks. EthosBar monitors essential developer services and surfaces a single colour-coded status. Green means ship. Red means look at them before you look at yourself.
Pure Swift. Not Electron.
Built in Swift for macOS 14 and later, optimised for Apple Silicon. EthosBar uses less memory than a browser tab and zero CPU at rest. You won't notice it's there. That's the point.
Smart Notifications
The moment a dependency degrades, your Mac tells you. Native macOS notifications arrive with a direct link to the status page, no app switching or manual checking required.
Component Drill-Down
When a service goes orange or red, tap the row to see exactly which sub-systems are affected — API, dashboard, webhooks, storage. Know in seconds whether your specific use-case is impacted or just an unrelated region.
Webhook Automation
Route status changes to Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, or any endpoint. Every webhook includes an AI-generated summary with context and historical patterns — ready to post without interpretation.
Your Stack, Your Rules
Nobody uses every service. Enable the ones your project actually depends on and hide everything else. The monitor adapts to a solo founder's three-service stack just as well as a platform team's full dependency map.
Incident Pulse AI
When a service goes orange or red, tap the glowing ✦ button for an instant AI-powered analysis. Set up My Stack in the Pro tab and the AI tailors advice to your specific services. Summary, pattern analysis, ETA, and actionable next steps — all formatted for Slack with one tap.
Incident History + AI Chat
Browse a full timeline of every status change across all 100+ services — grouped by day, filterable by 24h / 7d / 30d. Then ask the built-in AI anything about the data in plain English. No dashboards, no SQL.
Weekly AI Digest
Every Monday morning, EthosBar sends a reliability digest to your Mac — how many incidents, which services, patterns detected, and a health score for your stack. Zero effort, pure signal.
