Before you download

A few useful answers.

Can I try StarBar before buying?

Yes. Download StarBar to explore the app in demo mode with sample data. A paid license unlocks live telemetry from your Starlink hardware; demo mode does not monitor your own connection.

How much does StarBar cost?

StarBar costs $19 per year, or $49 for the Founders Edition lifetime license with the current $50 launch discount. Both options unlock the same native Mac app. Download it, purchase a license, then enter the key from your purchase email to enable live telemetry.

Does StarBar work on my MacBook?

StarBar requires macOS 14 or later and works on MacBooks and desktop Macs. For live diagnostics, your Mac must be able to reach your Starlink router or terminal on the local network. Available telemetry varies by hardware, firmware, and network setup.

Is StarBar the official Starlink app for Mac?

No. StarBar is an independent native macOS companion, not affiliated with or endorsed by Starlink, SpaceX, or Apple. Use the official Starlink app for setup, activation, billing, and account management, and Starlink support for official assistance.

Do I need to enter my Starlink account password?

No, not for core diagnostics. StarBar is local-network-first and reads telemetry exposed by reachable Starlink hardware on your network.

What can StarBar show in the menu bar?

StarBar can show status, latency, ping success, throughput, power draw, and satellite detail in the macOS menu bar, with deeper diagnostics available in the popover.

Can StarBar tell me if Starlink is down everywhere?

No. StarBar can show what your local Starlink telemetry reports, including recent events and reachability, but it cannot verify global or account-wide Starlink status beyond local signals.

Which Starlink setups is StarBar designed for?

StarBar is designed for Macs on the same network as Starlink hardware, including Mini, Standard, High Performance, RV, mobile, and home setups when local telemetry is reachable.

StarBar is an independent companion, not affiliated with Starlink, SpaceX, or Apple. Use the official Starlink app for setup and account management.
