StarBar brings Starlink telemetry to the Mac menu bar, so you can keep an eye on connection health while you work, call, stream, travel, or run a Starlink Mini from limited power.
The official Starlink app remains the right place for account, setup, billing, activation, and support tasks. StarBar is different: it is an independent native Mac utility focused on local telemetry that your Starlink hardware exposes on your network.
Choose the metric that matters in the moment, including status, latency, ping success, throughput, power draw, and satellite detail. When something feels wrong, open the popover for charts, recent events, obstruction context, hardware details, router information, speed tests, and partial telemetry warnings.
StarBar is useful when your Mac is the work surface and Starlink is the connection. It helps remote workers, RV travelers, van-life setups, boats, remote cabins, and Starlink Mini users watch the local signal without reaching for a phone.
StarBar does not need your Starlink account password for core diagnostics. It reads local telemetry when your Mac can reach the Starlink router or terminal, then labels unavailable account-only or firmware-dependent fields instead of filling gaps with guesses.
StarBar can help distinguish local symptoms such as obstruction, router reachability, packet loss, high latency, and unusual power draw. It cannot confirm account-wide status, billing state, activation problems, or whether a Starlink-wide outage is affecting every customer beyond what your local telemetry shows.
StarBar is made for Mac users who want Starlink telemetry close at hand. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Starlink, SpaceX, or Apple.
No. StarBar is an independent native macOS companion for local Starlink telemetry. Use the official Starlink app and Starlink support for account, activation, billing, plan, and support workflows.
No, not for core diagnostics. StarBar is local-network-first and reads telemetry exposed by reachable Starlink hardware on your network.
StarBar can show status, latency, ping success, throughput, power draw, and satellite detail in the macOS menu bar, with deeper diagnostics available in the popover.
No. StarBar can show what your local Starlink telemetry reports, including recent events and reachability, but it cannot verify global or account-wide Starlink status beyond local signals.
StarBar is designed for Macs on the same network as Starlink hardware, including Mini, Standard, High Performance, RV, mobile, and home setups when local telemetry is reachable.
StarBar puts local Starlink status, latency, ping success, outages, obstructions, throughput, and power draw into a native macOS menu bar app.
