Runners Widget for GitLab

Your GitLab* runners. Always one glance away. Runners Widget for GitLab* (support for other CI providers currently under development) lives quietly in your macOS menu bar and tells you — at a glance — whether your CI runners are healthy, idle, or in trouble. No browser tab. No dashboard refresh. Just a single, color-coded dot that shifts the moment something changes. Built natively in Swift 6 and SwiftUI, GitLab Widget is fast, lightweight, and respects your machine. It uses zero third-party dependencies, runs sandboxed, and never sends your data anywhere except the GitLab instance you choose. FEATURES • At-a-glance status icon A traffic-light indicator in your menu bar — green for online, red for offline, yellow for paused — updated automatically in the background. • Detailed runner view Click the icon to see every runner with its name, current status, beautifully laid out in a compact popover. • Multi-project support Monitor runners across multiple GitLab projects simultaneously. Switch projects without restarting the app. • Sign in with GitLab (OAuth) One-click authentication on gitlab.com — no need to manually generate a Personal Access Token. Tokens refresh automatically in the background. Prefer a PAT? That works too, for self-hosted GitLab instances. • Self-hosted friendly Point GitLab Widget at any GitLab instance — gitlab.com, your company's self-hosted GitLab, or anything in between. • VPN-aware polling If your GitLab instance lives behind a corporate VPN, GitLab Widget can be configured to pause polling automatically when the VPN is down — saving battery and avoiding noisy errors. • Wake-from-sleep refresh As soon as your Mac wakes up, GitLab Widget refreshes immediately so you're never looking at stale data. • Configurable refresh interval Choose how often the app polls GitLab — from a few seconds to several minutes — to match your workflow. • Launch at login Optionally start with macOS so your runners are always being watched. • Secure by default All credentials are stored in the macOS Keychain. The app runs in App Sandbox with network-client-only entitlements. No analytics**. No tracking. FOR DEVELOPERS, BY DEVELOPERS If you ship code through GitLab CI, you already know the moments that matter: a runner going offline mid-pipeline, a build queue stalling, a self-hosted runner silently dropping. GitLab Widget surfaces those moments before they become incidents — without forcing you to context-switch. It's the tool we built because we wanted it ourselves. Minimal, native, and out of your way until the second it isn't.
