Menu bar stats for Fathom, like Pulse does for Plausible.

Strengths
  • Live visitor count always visible in menu bar without opening a browser.
  • Supports multiple sites with hover previews and quick switching.
  • Privacy-first with no telemetry and read-only API key usage.
Weaknesses
  • Only works with Fathom, not other analytics platforms.
  • Requires manual macOS security override since app is unsigned.

Post Description

Hey HN,

Finally finished up this little app I built 2 years ago inspired by https://pulsestats.app (for Plausible) but for Fathom

Super useful for a quick glance at web stats without having to keep their dashboard open.
