A Mac menu bar app turns sales from Stripe, Shopify, or RevenueCat into sticky-note alerts delivered by a pixel monkey.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-17 issue.
For
Mac-based founders tracking Stripe, Shopify, or RevenueCat sales
Worth noticing
Stripe polls every 30 seconds; Shopify orders arrive by webhook, and the app says it stores keys in macOS Keychain.

Field notes

The setup uses different credentials by service: a restricted read-only key for Stripe, a RevenueCat V2 key with Charts & metrics: Read, and a webhook signing key for Shopify. The page says Stripe is checked every 30 seconds and RevenueCat every minute; Shopify notifications arrive through a webhook within about 30 seconds. For custom events, a small JSON file in the app’s inbox folder can supply fields such as kind, headline, who, and detail.
