GitStatusBar
Git status in the menu bar. Always local, always fast
simplicity + privacy + minimalism 1. It lives in the menu bar, not as a separate app window or dashboard. 2. It gives instant visual repo status (clean/dirty branch-level awareness) with low overhead, not a full git client workflow. 3. It stays local-first: no account, no telemetry, no app-level tracking. 4. It avoids heavy background behavior; no constant background polling in normal operations
GitStatusBar is live. For people who want repo awareness without context switching: it puts branch/status health in the macOS menu bar, stays out of your way, and works fully local (no account, no telemetry). If you like lightweight, privacy-first tools, I’d love your feedback on what should be improved first.
