A lightweight desktop companion that starts with your Mac, lives quietly in the menu bar and alerts you the moment something goes wrong with your streams.
The full panel in a desktop window — everything the web app offers
Starts automatically at login and stays in the menu bar
Native macOS notifications and audible alarms on outages, recoveries and anomalies
Menu bar icon flashes while an incident is active — you can spot trouble at a glance
Configurable alert modes: sound + notification, notification only, or silent
Install
Download the zip for your Mac (Apple menu → "About This Mac" shows your chip).
Unzip and drag Ovicast.app to your Applications folder.
On first launch, right-click the app → "Open" → "Open" (the app is not yet notarized, so Gatekeeper asks once).
Sign in with your panel account — alerts activate automatically.
If macOS still refuses to open the app, run this once in Terminal: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Ovicast.app. Closing the window keeps the app in the menu bar; use the menu bar icon → "Quit" to exit completely. Looking for Windows? Ovicast for Windows
