Everything that ships in Downbar, newest first.
1.0.1
LatestDownload the .dmg — free, macOS 14+.
Added
- Add from a Codebase — Settings generates a copyable AI prompt for Claude Code, Cursor, or any coding agent: point it at a project and it finds the hosted services the code depends on — plus your own production and deployed URLs — and adds them to Downbar automatically.
- Editable config —
services.jsonopens in your editor straight from Settings, forgives hand-written entries, and hot-reloads the moment you save. No restart needed. - Uptime history — a per-service rolling record of recent checks, surfaced in the menu.
- Accessibility pass: VoiceOver labels, Dynamic Type support, and improved contrast throughout.
- Distinct styling for scheduled-maintenance states, separating them visually from outages.
Changed
- User-facing strings extracted for translation, paving the way for localization.
1.0.0
The first release.
Added
- Curated catalog of 110+ public status pages across 14 categories — AI, cloud, developer tools, payments, and more — monitored concurrently from the menu bar.
- Seven status-page adapters behind a single model: Statuspage.io, Instatus, AWS Health, Apple System Status, Google Cloud, Azure, and a generic website uptime check.
- Down and recovery notifications with de-flap debouncing, so a momentary blip doesn't spam alerts.
- Offline awareness: the app distinguishes "no internet here" from "the service is down" and reflects it in the menu-bar icon.
- Per-service mute to silence notifications for noisy or low-priority services.
- Severity threshold so notifications only fire at or above a chosen impact level.
- Notification deep-link: clicking an alert opens the relevant service's status page.
- Incident detail in the menu, showing the active incident title alongside status.
- Drag-to-reorder services in the panel.
- First-launch onboarding to pick the services you care about.
