Glance. Don’t hunt.
Your builds, reviews, deploys and machine vitals — live in the notch.
You break flow a hundred times a day just to check if it’s okay.
Is the build green? Did the deploy land? Is anyone waiting on my review? Is my dev server still up? Every answer is an alt-tab, a browser tab, a lost thought. Perch answers all of them in the corner of your eye.
A build kicks off
The left pill tracks CI live — progress and all.
You decide what shows, and where.
Click a module to move it into the left pill, the right pill, or the panel — and watch your notch update, live.
Keep clicking a chip: Left → Right → Panel → Off.
Toggles, dropdowns and fields — per module, no code.
One command. No Apple ID.
No App Store, no password — a curl download isn’t quarantined, so it launches clean. Installs in seconds, updates itself in place.
Native, honest, and light.
Native Swift 6 + SwiftUI
A background agent in the notch and menu bar. No Electron, no web view, no Dock icon.
Plug-in architecture
Each feature is one module producing typed state. The shell just renders it — adding a module touches nothing else.
Accuracy engine
Versioned, freshness-aware state. Out-of-order updates are rejected; stale data is surfaced honestly.
Kind to the API
ETag conditional requests and a shared rate-limit backoff. Free 304s, near-zero idle cost.
