About
Polaris is a tiny native macOS menu bar app for your Polestar: battery, range, charging status and time-to-full, refreshed every five minutes and every minute while charging. It notifies you when charging starts, finishes or faults — and nothing else. A desktop widget in three sizes reads what the app already fetched, so it costs the car nothing. AppKit, not Electron. Your password lives in the Keychain, it talks only to Polestar's own API, and there are no trackers. MIT licensed.
AI Summary
Polaris is a native macOS menu bar app that provides real-time updates on battery status, range, and charging information for Polestar vehicles. The open-source app uses the Polestar API, ensures user privacy by storing passwords in the Keychain, and is MIT licensed.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
