Why a Desktop App?
Passive awareness, not another browser tab
When you're managing dozens of client sites, you need passive awareness—not another browser tab to check. The Sentinel menu bar app gives you at-a-glance status of every monitor right from your desktop.
- Always visible in your macOS menu bar
- Native notifications for instant awareness
- One-click access to your dashboard
Features
Your monitoring dashboard, always within reach
Menu Bar Icon
A small shield icon in your menu bar shows status at a glance. Optional badge shows the count of active issues.
Text Mode
Switch to text mode for compact counts right in the menu bar: see online, degraded, and offline counts without clicking.
Native Notifications
Get macOS notifications when monitors go down or recover. No browser needed—alerts appear even when you're in other apps.
Quick Dashboard Access
Click any monitor in the popover to jump directly to its detail page in Sentinel. Deep links save you time.
Configurable Refresh
Set your preferred refresh interval from 15 seconds to 5 minutes. Balance between real-time updates and API usage.
Launch at Login
Enable launch at login so Sentinel starts monitoring the moment you open your Mac. Set it and forget it.
