Overview
This app was built in the same spirit as the previous two great solutions to show your key Nightscout stats in the Mac OS menu bar:
This solution is 100% native (no Python or external dependancies), and adds a few extra features/info.
Key Features
- Show your current BG in the system bar at the top of your screen on Mac
- Get some additional details for those of you also looping, such as IOB, COB and pump stats.
- Show a mini version of the graph (including predictions) when you click on the widget
- Access your recent BG history
- Indicate to you when the data is stale (due to readings not being in Nightscout
- Option to start automatically on login
Planned Features
- Allow the setup of multiple profiles to monitor more than one person
How to Support
I do this because I'm a type 1 diabetic myself (and use a Mac). I'm not doing it to make money, but a few people have asked to contribute so here's the deal:
- If I get up to USD 99 in donations in a year, this will go to paying for my Apple Developer License
- Anything over USD 99 I'll donate to the Nightscout foundation (https://www.nightscoutfoundation.org/)
Problems
Problems can be reported in the app by clicking Report an issue in the main menu.
