syncthingStatus - a macOS menu bar status app for syncthing

Development

Hi.

As far as I found out, this is the right place to tell Syncthing users that I build a small open-source macOS menu bar app that integrates with Syncthing to display the connection and transfer status.

If you want to take a look at it: GitHub - Xpycode/syncthingStatus: Shows syncthing status in the menu bar

I have been building it with LLMs like Claude Code, Gemini CLI and Codex CLI and it seems to work quite well.

Have fun with it, I will not work constantly on it, but every now and then I will try file history stuff and see if I get it working.

Kind regards,

LU

I just released an update to fix an issue with too many items in the popover making elements not visible.
