Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it for a compact view of selected Binance USDT prices while working on a Mac, rather than for broader market analysis or trading.

Who it is for

  • Mac users who want selected crypto prices visible without opening a dedicated market dashboard.
  • Developers who want to inspect or build a Swift menu-bar cryptocurrency monitor.

Documented uses

  • Keep a selected coin’s USDT price visible in the macOS menu bar.
  • Switch between supported assets or add up to five custom symbols.
  • Refresh prices manually or choose a recurring update interval.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

Requires macOS 13.1 or later and an internet connection to access Binance’s API. Building from source requires Xcode 16.2 or later.

  • Prices come from Binance’s public ticker API and are displayed as USDT values.
  • Automatic refresh can be set to 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds; Cmd+R triggers a manual refresh.
  • The app supports up to five custom symbols, formatted as 2–10 uppercase letters or digits.
  • The documented implementation uses Swift, SwiftUI, AppKit and Combine, with a GPL v3 license.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
