Mac App Store · Menu bar

Your visitors, live in the menu bar.

Site Pulse reads Google Analytics 4 and keeps the number of people on your sites one glance away — with a glow and an optional ping when a site heats up.

The dashboard in your menu bar

Every site, one glance.

Live in the menu bar

The number of active users across your sites, with a 30-minute sparkline, refreshed every minute.

Every site at a glance

One tile per site with its own icon and colour, live users, today so far compared with yesterday, and minute-by-minute bars.

Tap a site for the detail

See which countries visitors are in right now, which pages they are reading and where today's visits came from. Pop the dashboard out into its own window when you want it on screen.

Spikes, flagged

A site glows when visits jump well above what's usual for that time of day. Notifications are optional and off by default.

Widgets for your desktop

Nine widgets in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes: your month so far, pace against last month, a race against it, top countries and sources, a sites leaderboard and more. They update from the app and work offline.

Private by design

Read-only access to Google Analytics. Your data stays on your Mac. No accounts, no servers, no tracking.

🔥 The whole point

Know when a site heats up.

Site Pulse learns what's usual for each site at each hour of the week. When real traffic runs well past that baseline, the tile glows, the menu-bar count gives a little bounce, and — if you opt in — you get one notification.

A spike is at least 1.5× what's usual for this time of day, and at least 10 users above it. Notifications are optional and off by default.

Try it without an account

Questions, answered.

Site Pulse opens with a demo site, a pretend coffee shop called Bloom & Brew with made-up visitors, so you can see how it works before connecting anything. Connect one or more Google accounts whenever you like; the demo steps aside.

What do I need?

macOS 26 or later, and access to at least one Google Analytics 4 property.

What does it ask Google for?

Read-only Google Analytics access (analytics.readonly) plus your email address to label the account. It cannot change anything in your Analytics account.

Can I connect more than one Google account?

Yes. Connect as many as you like; sites from all of them share one dashboard, and removing an account forgets the sites only it could see.

What counts as a spike?

At least 1.5× the usual traffic for that time of day, and at least 10 users above it. The tile glows while it lasts; notifications are optional and off by default.
