Menu Bar Charging Utility?

I’m trying to track down a menu bar utility I saw mentioned in a comment here a while back.

The app has a very modern macOS 26 (Tahoe) look and features a unique charging bar in the menu bar. It shows the total incoming wattage, and the bar itself splits to show how much power is going to the battery versus how much is being used by the system in real time.

Does anyone have the name or a link? It looked incredibly clean and I’ve had no luck finding it again. Thanks!

Star Trails and Astrophotography

I'm looking at an app called StarStax but it's not developer signed. My Mac is giving me a warning that it can't open it, and moving it to the trash. The app is referenced by Photopills, Alyn Wallace, and other well regarded sources but I'm not sure if there's another alternative that I could use? I'm pretty wary about using apps that aren't in the App Store or otherwise well supported. Thanks for any thoughts!


I ended up just downloading it and bypassing the security on it. It works. We'll see if its safe or not!

StorageRadar is now on the Mac App Store: review-first cleanup that shows exactly what you're deleting

Developer here. This is my app, and it just went live on the Mac App Store.

Problem:
I built StorageRadar because I kept hitting the same issue on my own Macs: I could usually find big storage hogs eventually, but I never felt good about acting on them. Xcode data, Docker layers, app leftovers, giant forgotten folders, and caches that were probably safe still left too much guessing between scan and delete.

It scans locally, shows exact paths and blocked paths instead of hiding them, flags app leftovers, and lets you dry-run cleanup before you apply anything. Nothing is deleted automatically.

Comparison:
DaisyDisk is excellent for visualization. StorageRadar is more about the review-to-cleanup workflow after that: exact paths, app leftovers, developer cleanup, permissions context, and a dry-run step before anything changes.

CleanMyMac is more convenience-first. I wanted something more explicit and review-first.

Pricing:
Free preview for scan + review.
User: $9.99 one-time.
Developer: $19.99 one-time.
Upgrade to Developer: $9.99 one-time.
No subscription.

I've also shipped iPerf3 Client / Server and NetPing Monitor on the Mac App Store, so this isn't my first Mac release.

If you use storage tools regularly, I'd be especially interested in where they still feel too opaque, too aggressive, or just not built for how you actually work.
