Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Abbas, and together with Rahul I built Kitbar.
Every day looked the same: push, then tab over to Vercel to see if the deploy went through, then GitHub for the checks, then Stripe to see if anything came in, then Claude Code to check how much of the weekly limit is left. Four tabs, all day, for a glance.
Kitbar puts that glance on the edge of your screen. A thin bar with one ring per tool: green is fine, orange is building, red failed, bright means something new. Point at a ring and a small card opens with the last deployments, checks, payments or usage limits. From there you can redeploy, re-run a check, or open the thing in your browser.
It covers Vercel, Cloudflare, GitHub, GitLab, Stripe, Polar, Claude Code and Codex, with more on the way.
How it's built:
• No account, no server of ours. Kitbar asks each tool directly with your own key or sign-in, the way its dashboard does. Keys stay in your keychain.
• Native. Swift on macOS, WPF on Windows. Idle at 0.1% CPU.
• Pay once. One license covers 3 to 50 devices, Macs and PCs together, with free updates.
We'd love to hear which tool you'd want next, and anything that feels off. I'll be here all day.
Is Cloudflare on the list? My deploys moved from Vercel to Workers Builds, so that is the ring I would watch most. Also curious whether the Stripe ring shows failed payments or only totals.
wish it had a free option but seems like a pretty cool thing to have as a builder
no account no server is the right call for something sitting next to Stripe and deploy keys, that's the part that would've made me hesitate otherwise. the one thing I'd want to know before trusting it with payment data specifically: when Kitbar asks Stripe directly with my key, is that a restricted key scoped to read-only balance/payments, or does it need full account access to show what it shows
Does Kitbar send notifications when a deploy fails or a payment comes through?
Having GitHub checks and Vercel deploys in one small bar sounds really handy. Less time switching between tabs.
