First public build of RepoBar — a macOS menu bar app that tells you when your git repositories have new commits on the remote, without clicking.

Highlights

  • One colored dot per repository in the menu bar: filled when the remote is ahead of you, faded when up to date, ring + ! on errors. Count and Icon only styles are available in Settings.
  • Panel with branch, behind/ahead counts, uncommitted-changes indicator and the list of incoming commits (click to open on GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket).
  • Fast-forward-only Pull, Mark as seen, Open in Finder / Terminal / editors / git clients.
  • Notifications with Open and Pull actions; per-repository mute.
  • Checks use git ls-remote first and fetch only when the branch tip moved; your working tree is never touched.
  • Launch at login, pause, offline and Low Power Mode awareness, re-check after wake.
  • Automatic updates via Sparkle.

Install

Unzip, drag RepoBar.app to Applications, then follow the first-launch step in install.txt (the app is not notarized). Requires macOS 14 or later and git.
