I built a native macOS menu bar that allows to control Home Assistant devices from macOS menu bar.
- Controls your Home Assistant devices – lights, locks, thermostats, blinds, cameras, garage doors, security systems, and more – 12 HA device types supported
- Native Swift/AppKit - no Electron, no web views, virtually zero CPU/memory usage
- Pin favorites for one-click access
- Global keyboard shortcuts to toggle devices system-wide
- HA cameras stream via WebRTC for low-latency video
- Switch between HomeKit and HA anytime – layouts, groups, and settings are preserved separately for each platform
and much more!
Devices are automatically organized by areas pulled from your HA instance. If you prefer a different layout, just hit “Create group” in settings and organize things however you want.
The base app is free and open-source.
Would love to hear your feedback, especially from HA users since this is brand new. Happy to answer any questions!
