Downbar

macOS menu-bar app

Every status page you care about, in one quiet glance.

Downbar watches 110+ public status pages — AI, cloud, developer tools, payments and more — and turns the menu-bar icon red the moment something breaks. Then green again when it recovers. No tabs, no dashboards, no noise.

Why Downbar

Built to stay out of your way

  • Health-meter icon

    One three-bar glyph aggregates everything you watch into a single at-a-glance color — green, amber, red.

  • Down & recovery alerts

    Native notifications the moment a service degrades, and again when it's back. De-flap debouncing kills the noise.

  • 110+ status pages

    A curated catalog across AI, cloud, dev tools, payments and 10 more categories — or paste any status-page URL.

  • Offline awareness

    Downbar knows the difference between "your Wi-Fi dropped" and "the service is actually down."

  • Per-service mute & webhooks

    Silence the chatty ones. POST the same up/down alerts to Slack, Discord, or any endpoint.

  • Zero data collection

    No account, no telemetry. Nothing leaves your Mac except the status checks themselves.

How it works

Pick, poll, peace of mind

  1. Pick the services you depend on

    Toggle them on from the catalog during a quick first launch, or paste any Statuspage, Instatus, or plain website URL.

  2. Downbar polls every official feed

    Statuspage, Instatus, AWS, Apple, Google Cloud, Azure — folded into one menu and a single menu-bar color.

  3. You hear about it first

    A click-through notification on the way down, the all-clear on the way back. Set a severity threshold so you only hear what matters.

The catalog

110+ services across 14 categories

  • AI · Models & APIs
  • AI · Voice, Image & Video
  • AI · Dev & Infra
  • Hosting & PaaS
  • Cloud & Infra
  • Developer Tools
  • Data & Backend
  • Identity & Auth
  • Observability & APM
  • Errors & Crash Reporting
  • Incident & On-Call
  • Payments & Commerce
  • Communication
  • Productivity

Not listed? Paste any Statuspage.io, Instatus, or website URL and Downbar watches it too.

Add from a codebase

Or let your coding agent fill the list

  1. Copy the prompt

    Settings → Services → Add from a Codebase generates a prompt with Downbar's full catalog and your config path baked in.

  2. Paste it into any agent

    Claude Code, Cursor, Codex — opened in any repo. It scans your dependencies, deploy config, and env vars, and verifies every status page before adding it.

  3. Watch the list build itself

    Everything the code depends on — plus your own production URLs — lands in services.json, plain JSON that Downbar hot-reloads the moment it's saved. Edit it by hand in your IDE anytime.

Stop refreshing status pages.
