ddevBar

Managing DDEV projects from the terminal is fine, but constantly typing ddev list and ddev start gets old fast. I wanted a quick way to see which projects are running and control them without leaving what I’m doing.

So, I built ddevBar.

It’s a simple macOS menu bar app that shows all your DDEV projects and lets you manage them with a click. No terminal needed.

What it does

  • See everything at a glance: All your DDEV projects show up in the menu bar with clear status indicators.
  • One-click control: Start, stop, or restart any project without opening a terminal.
  • Quick access: Jump straight to your project URL, Mailpit inbox, or open a terminal session.
  • Stop All: Shut down all running projects at once when you’re done for the day.
  • Launch at login: Have it ready when you start your Mac.
