The refresh loop previously skipped `refreshQuietly(.today)` when the user was already viewing the Today period. That guard meant while the user was on (today, claude) or any other non-.all provider, the (today, all) cache went stale. The menubar title and the agent tab strip both read from that cache, so they displayed stale costs while the hero section (which reads the currently-viewed payload) showed the correct fresh value. Remove the guard so the (today, all) cache refreshes every cycle regardless of the currently selected period/provider. Shipped as mac-v0.7.4. |

CodeBurn Menubar (macOS)
Native Swift + SwiftUI menubar app. The codeburn menubar surface.
Requirements
- macOS 14+ (Sonoma)
- Swift 6.0+ toolchain (bundled with Xcode 16 or standalone)
codeburnCLI installed globally (npm install -g codeburn) or available at a path you pass viaCODEBURN_BIN
Install (end users)
One command:
npx codeburn menubar
That's it. The command downloads the latest .app from GitHub Releases, drops it into ~/Applications, clears Gatekeeper quarantine, and launches it. Re-running it upgrades in place with --force, or just launches the existing copy otherwise.
If you already have the CLI installed globally (npm install -g codeburn), codeburn menubar works the same way.
Build from source
For contributors running a local build instead of the packaged release:
npm install -g codeburn # CLI the app shells out to for data
git clone https://github.com/AgentSeal/codeburn.git
cd codeburn/mac
swift build -c release
.build/release/CodeBurnMenubar # launch
Build & run (dev against a local CLI checkout)
cd mac
swift build
# Point the app at your dev CLI build instead of the globally installed `codeburn`:
npm --prefix .. run build
CODEBURN_BIN="node $(pwd)/../dist/cli.js" swift run
The app registers itself as a menubar accessory (LSUIElement = true at runtime). No Dock icon.
Data source
On launch and every 60 seconds thereafter, the app spawns codeburn status --format menubar-json --no-optimize directly (argv, no shell) via CodeburnCLI.makeProcess and decodes the JSON into MenubarPayload. The manual refresh button in the footer invokes the same command without --no-optimize, which includes optimize findings but takes longer.
Override the binary via the CODEBURN_BIN environment variable (default: codeburn on PATH). The value is validated against a strict allowlist (alphanumerics plus ._/- space) before use, so a malicious env var can't inject shell commands.

Status
Live data wired. Next iterations:
- FSEvents watch for
~/.claude/projects/changes (debounced refresh on real edits) - Persistent disk cache for optimize findings so the default refresh can include them without the 30-second penalty
- Currency metadata in the JSON payload + Swift-side formatting
- Sparkle auto-update
- DMG packaging + Homebrew Cask tap
