What FavTray is
FavTray is a Mac developer dashboard that places a cockpit in the menu bar and opens separate screens for its tools. The cockpit ranks urgent items such as agent approvals, AI limits, failing CI, and stopped development servers, with actions on each card. Tools cover coding-agent sessions, AI usage, GitHub, development servers, system monitoring, local work, AI spend, and disk space. Local Work shows dirty or unpushed checkouts and does not push changes. Flow AI can use a local model or a user-supplied OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, or LM Studio key. Listed integrations include VS Code, Terminal, iTerm, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Xcode, JetBrains IDEs, AWS CLI, gcloud CLI, Docker, Zoom, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Module data is read locally, while AI spend comes from Mac logs. The signed app supports macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
