MenuStatus

English · 简体中文

A native macOS menu bar app for two supported kinds of public status pages, plus a built-in AI benchmark snapshot view.

MenuStatus has two primary views:

• Supported Status Pages: parse public status pages built on Atlassian Statuspage and incident.io
• AI Stupid Level: check benchmark snapshots including global index, model ranking, vendor comparison, recommendations, alerts, and degradations

What It Does

Supported Status Pages

MenuStatus is not a generic parser for arbitrary status sites. It currently supports two status-page platforms only:

• Atlassian Statuspage
• incident.io

Built-in providers include OpenAI and Anthropic. You can also add compatible URLs from services built on those same two formats, such as GitHub, Cloudflare, 1Password, Proton, and similar providers.

From the menu bar you can:

• switch between providers quickly
• inspect grouped components and uptime bars
• view active incidents and recent history
• jump to the official provider status page when you need full context

AI Stupid Level

MenuStatus also includes an AI Stupid Level view for quick benchmark snapshots from aistupidlevel.info.

It surfaces:

• global index and trend
• model ranking
• vendor comparison
• recommendations
• alerts
• degradations

This gives the app a second primary workflow alongside service-status tracking: checking whether model quality and reliability appear to be slipping.

Supported Platforms

Area	Support
Status pages	Atlassian Statuspage, incident.io
Built-in providers	OpenAI, Anthropic
Custom providers	Compatible URLs using those same two formats
AI benchmark view	AI Stupid Level

Compatibility

Supported

• Atlassian Statuspage pages
• incident.io pages
• built-in OpenAI and Anthropic providers
• compatible custom URLs using those same two page formats

Not Supported

• arbitrary custom status websites outside those formats
• providers with fully custom status UIs that do not expose compatible Atlassian Statuspage or incident.io structures

Download

• Latest builds are published on GitHub Releases
• Requires macOS 14.0+
• The repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that builds a Release .app, packages it as a .dmg, and uploads it to Releases
• Signed release builds can use Sparkle and GitHub Pages appcast updates when signing/notarization is configured

If Apple signing and notarization secrets are not configured yet, the workflow can still publish an unsigned .dmg so the release path remains testable end to end.

Privacy

MenuStatus reads public HTTPS status endpoints and public AI benchmark data. No API keys, no accounts, and no telemetry are required for the core experience.

Build From Source

Requirements

• macOS 14.0+
• Xcode 15+ command line tools
• Tuist

Run Locally

./run-menubar.sh

To stop:

./stop-menubar.sh

Development

# Generate Xcode project
TUIST_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK=1 tuist generate --no-open

# Build
TUIST_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK=1 tuist xcodebuild build \
  -scheme MenuStatus -configuration Debug -derivedDataPath .build

# Test
TUIST_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK=1 tuist xcodebuild test \
  -scheme MenuStatus -configuration Debug -derivedDataPath .build

Publish A DMG Release

Push a version tag and GitHub Actions will build a Release .app, package it as a .dmg, and upload it to GitHub Releases:

git tag v0.1.0
git push origin v0.1.0

The workflow is defined in .github/workflows/release.yml and uses package-app.sh.

By default the script uses hdiutil so it works reliably in CI. If you want a styled Finder layout locally and already have create-dmg installed, run USE_CREATE_DMG=1 ./package-app.sh 0.1.0.

Optional GitHub repository secrets for signed/notarized builds:

• APPLE_CERTIFICATE_P12_BASE64: Base64-encoded Developer ID Application certificate (.p12)
• APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD: Password for the .p12
• APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY: Signing identity, for example Developer ID Application: Your Name (TEAMID)
• APPLE_ID: Apple ID email used for notarization
• APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD: App-specific password for that Apple ID
• APPLE_TEAM_ID: Apple Developer team ID
