A native macOS menu-bar app that notifies you the instant your TradingView alerts fire — native notification, menu-bar badge, sound, and a dropdown of recent alerts. Built on open technology (Tauri 2 + a self-hostable relay), with no proprietary runtime lock-in.

TradingView sends alerts as webhooks from its cloud, so they need a public URL to reach your Mac. Three ways to handle that:
| Mode | Setup | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Local webhook | Run your own tunnel (e.g. ngrok) to the built-in local server |
Free |
| Self-hosted relay | Deploy the included relay yourself (no account needed) | Free |
| Hosted relay (Pro) | Sign in — your personal URL works the moment you install | Subscription |
The app and the relay are the same open-source code. The paid tier is purely the convenience of a managed, zero-setup hosted relay.
