I’m the founder at Altessa Solutions. We built Manifold to kill a tiny, dumb ritual we did a dozen times a day: push a branch, then flip to a browser tab to check if the pipeline went green. Multiply that across a handful of projects and a couple of CI servers, and “did that build pass?” becomes a constant tax on your attention.
ManifoldCI lives in your Mac menu bar. The icon is your aggregate build status — green when everything passes, red the moment something breaks, with a badge for how many are failing. Click it for your latest pipelines; open the full window to search, filter and page through everything; drill into stages, jobs and logs; and retry or cancel a run without ever opening a browser.
A few things we cared about:
Both platforms — GitLab pipelines and GitHub Actions runs, merged into one sorted list, colour-coded per source.
No backend — ManifoldCI talks straight to your CI. Your access token stays in the macOS Keychain and never touches our servers.
Native & light — Swift/SwiftUI, light + dark, launch at login, then it gets out of your way.
It’s free for public projects on gitlab.com and github.com; Pro adds self-hosted/Enterprise, private projects, pipeline actions, job logs and smart notifications (7-day free trial).
