GlucoseBar is a macOS 14+ Menu Bar application for monitoring your or your loved ones CGM readings at a glance.
You can download GlucoseBar from the releases section here on GitHub, or from the macOS App Store.
| Name | Supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nightscout | ✅ | Uses APIv3, and thus does not make use of your API secret, but instead a token. |
| Dexcom Share | ✅ | Use your Dexcom account credentials, and ensure you have at least one follower. |
| Libre LinkUp | 🛑 | Abbott is deprecating the API used for this and have not published a replacement yet. Once a new API is available this can be explored again. |
If you have requests for any other CGM data providers, please get in touch through a ticket.
GlucoseBar is available in the following languages currently:
- English
- French
- Danish
If you would like to help translate GlucoseBar into your language, please send an email to glucosebar@t1d.tools with the language you would like to help with, and we can take it from there.
To enable debug mode open a terminal emulator and run the following command: defaults write t1d.tools.GlucoseBar debugMode -bool YES
After running the command, restart GlucoseBar and you will now see debug UI in the settings. Share the file after triggering the issue you want to report.
This is a list of our amazing translators who have helped make GlucoseBar available in multiple languages:
| Name | Languages | |
|---|---|---|
| Corentin Cras-Méneur | French | cortig.net, Mastodon: @cortig@mastodon.social, BlueSky: @cortig |
| Andreas Stokholm | Danish, English | @AndreasStokholm |
To configure nightscout, input your Nightscout instance URL with no path. Eg. https://my.ns.service.com. If you use a non-standard port, add that after the domain http://my.ns.service.com:1337.
For the Token field, you need to create a token (referred to as subjects in the Nightscout admin console) in nightscout with the readable permission.
The 1.3.0 release of GlucoseBar adds support for the algorithmic output from the Trio project. If you are using Trio or AAPS as the AID system for your insulin delivery, you can now see some of the algorithmic output in GlucoseBar, presented in a familiar way by enabling the integration in the Nightscout CGM settings screen.
The 1.3.1 release of GlucoseBar adds support for the looping data produced by Loop. Similarly to how Trio and AAPS expose algorithmic data through Nightscout, Loop is now also supported. Enable it in the Nightscout CGM settings screen.
To get up and running with Dexcom Share, please ensure you already have a follower set up using the normal Dexcom Share flow. Once that prerequisite is met, please continue using your normal Dexcom credentials. Remember to select the correct region.
Requirements: Xcode 15 or later, macOS 14 or later.
