Not yet. StarBar is taking beta requests while the paid release is being prepared. The launch price will be announced when paid builds are ready.
No. Beta access is free while the app is being tested, and feedback is the useful trade.
No. StarBar is an independent macOS app that reads local Starlink telemetry exposed on your network.
The core diagnostics are local network first. Some account or subscription fields may be unavailable locally, and StarBar labels those partial states instead of pretending the data exists.
StarBar is being built for macOS 14 and newer. It is designed as a native menu bar utility, so the best fit is a Mac that stays on the same network as your Starlink hardware.
