Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Farglass pairs a Mac menu-bar monitor with an iPhone app, showing agent status, dev servers, CI, exports, and system resources through iCloud.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.
For
Mac users monitoring agents, builds, and exports
Worth noticing
Phone actions are limited to listed controls: keep awake, sleep, stop or pause a server, or clean up a finished worktree.

Field notes

Pairing uses the same iCloud account on both devices; the page says the Mac writes to a private iCloud database and the iPhone reads from it, with no Farglass account. A small relay is described as handling home-screen widget refreshes; it reportedly passes Apple a content-changed notice and retains a push address plus a fingerprint of the Macs’ key, not readings. The homepage invites users to join a beta.
