LATEST PROJECT

TickBar is a lightweight macOS menu bar app that keeps live market information visible at a glance, without needing to open a browser or trading platform. It puts BTC/USD, SPY, and selected S&P 500 stocks directly in your menu bar in a compact, readable format that’s designed to be useful throughout the day.

By default, TickBar shows Bitcoin and SPY with live price and percentage movement, while also supporting custom S&P 500 tickers for a more personalised watchlist. It offers flexible display options, configurable refresh timing, and color-coded market moves, making it easy to track crypto and stocks quickly from anywhere on your Mac.
