Release notes

Changelog

Everything that ships in Downbar, newest first.

1.0.1

Latest August 6, 2026

Download 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.json opens 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

June 2, 2026

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.
