Deplog provides real-time Vercel deployment monitoring directly from the macOS menu bar, eliminating the need to keep browser tabs open or manually check deployment status.
The app displays comprehensive deployment information including commit names, branches, and detailed status indicators. A single click on the menu bar icon reveals the current deployment state, enabling developers to track which changes are deploying without leaving their development environment. Multi-project monitoring allows users to track production deploys alongside preview builds simultaneously.
Setup requires only a Vercel API token, which the app stores securely in macOS Keychain. The native implementation ensures responsive performance with minimal resource usage. Both light and dark modes blend seamlessly with macOS, and status indicators provide clear visibility without being distracting. Failed deployments trigger immediate notifications while successful deployments proceed quietly.
The app follows a focused design philosophy, monitoring Vercel deployments exclusively rather than attempting to support multiple platforms. This specialization translates to a refined experience for the target audience.
System requirements: macOS (version unspecified), available on the Mac App Store.
Limitations: The app supports only Vercel deployments. Users deploying to Netlify, Railway, Render, or other platforms will find no utility here. Developers who deploy infrequently may not benefit from constant monitoring overhead.
Alternatives: Deploy Status for Vercel offers similar functionality with a free tier. The official Vercel dashboard and GitHub integration provide deployment status through web interfaces without additional software.
Suitable for users who deploy to Vercel multiple times daily and want to eliminate browser tab management while maintaining deployment visibility.
