Description
Sugar Sense: Menu Bar Glucose shows your continuous glucose monitor (CGM) reading right in the Mac menu bar. The live value and trend arrow stay visible while you work in any app, and the graph, statistics and change since the last reading are one click away. It works with FreeStyle Libre, Dexcom and Nightscout through your Sugar Sense account, all three in one app. The Safari extension puts the same live reading on the Safari toolbar, and the desktop widgets keep it on your desktop and in Notification Center. WORKS WITH FreeStyle Libre, Dexcom, Nightscout, Apple Health and manual readings. The glucose source is connected once in the Sugar Sense iPhone app; the Mac only reads. WHAT YOU GET • Menu bar: the latest reading with a trend arrow, colored by your own range (in range, warning, alert), refreshed every 30 seconds • Dropdown: value, change since the previous reading, update time, a graph with 3, 6, 12 or 24 hour windows, threshold lines, a time axis and hover details, plus in range, lowest and highest for that window • Menu Bar Display options: capsule or plain text, with or without the arrow, the change and the minutes since the reading • Keyboard shortcut to open the dropdown from any app (Control+Option+G by default) • Desktop widgets in three sizes; the large one shows statistics and 6 hours of history • Care Circle: follow a family member's glucose instead of your own, and switch between people from the menu • Safari extension: a toolbar badge plus a popup with the same graph windows, statistics and hover details • Honest when data stops: a reading older than 15 minutes turns grey and shows its time, and "--" appears only after 2 hours • mg/dL or mmol/L and your own thresholds, taken from your Sugar Sense account • Launch at login, so your glucose is always one glance away • English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Georgian, following your Mac or chosen in the app HOW IT WORKS 1. Set up your glucose source in the Sugar Sense iPhone app. 2. On the Mac, click the drop icon, choose Connect Account and sign in with the same Google or Apple account. 3. Your glucose appears in the menu bar within seconds. For Safari, enable Sugar Sense in Safari Settings > Extensions and pair the same way. ALSO IN SUGAR SENSE One account works across the iPhone app (alerts, Care Circle, logbook, statistics and AI insights), the Apple Watch app, the Safari extension and the web dashboard at app.sugarsense.io. QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK Does it alert me? No. This app is for viewing only and never sends notifications. Alerts stay on your iPhone, where they are reliable. Does it work with Dexcom? Yes, once Dexcom is connected in the iPhone app. FreeStyle Libre and Nightscout work the same way. Is it free? Yes. The Mac app, the Safari extension and following a family member are free with a Sugar Sense account. Does it need the internet? Yes. It reads from your Sugar Sense account, not from the sensor directly. IMPORTANT Not a medical device and not a substitute for professional medical advice. Base treatment decisions on your CGM's own app or a blood glucose meter. PRIVACY Your session and latest readings are stored only on your Mac and in Safari. The app talks only to sugarsense.io and the Google and Apple sign-in services, and never shares your data with anyone else.
