Credential cache: switched from keychain to file-based storage under Application Support. Ad-hoc signed builds invalidate keychain ACLs on every rebuild, causing repeated macOS password prompts. Existing keychain entries are migrated to file on first read, then deleted. Per-provider menubar: the Codex/Claude/etc tabs previously re-parsed all sessions from scratch (22s). Now parses only today with the provider filter and uses the daily cache for historical days, matching the fast path the All tab already uses. Daily cache bumped to v7 to force a clean rebuild after pricing and provider changes since v6. |

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)
Install (end users)
One command:
codeburn menubar
That's it. The command records the persistent codeburn CLI path, downloads the latest .app from the newest mac-v* GitHub Release with a matching checksum, verifies it, 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.
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/getagentseal/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_ALLOW_DEV_BIN=1 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.
Release installs record a persistent absolute CLI path in ~/Library/Application Support/CodeBurn/codeburn-cli-path.v1, then fall back to Homebrew's common codeburn locations. For development only, set CODEBURN_ALLOW_DEV_BIN=1 with CODEBURN_BIN; the value is validated against a strict allowlist 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
