Real-time git status
for your terminal
AirTower is a macOS menu-bar app that gives you real-time git status, task tracking, and build monitoring — all in a floating panel alongside your terminal.
App Screenshot
Everything you need to see
One floating panel. Every detail about your repo.
Git Status
See branch, staged files, modified files, stashes, and remote tracking — all at a glance without typing a command.
Floating Panel
A translucent, always-on-top panel that hovers beside your terminal. Stays out of the way until you need it.
Task Tracking
Reads your PLAN.md and displays tasks with checkboxes. Track progress without leaving your editor.
Bug Monitoring
Parses BUG.md to show open and fixed bugs. Know the state of your project at all times.
Test & Build Status
Run tests and builds via wrapper scripts. See pass/fail counts and build status in real time.
Submodules & LFS
Full support for git submodules and LFS-tracked files. Everything surfaces in the status panel.
How it works
Three steps. Zero configuration required.
Launch AirTower
Open the app from your menu bar. It detects your active terminal and finds the git repo automatically.
Work in your terminal
Keep coding as usual. AirTower polls your repo and updates the floating panel in real time.
See everything
Branch status, tasks, bugs, test results, and build status — all visible without switching windows.
Configure once,
monitor everything
Drop a .airtower.json file in your repo root to customize test commands, build scripts, polling intervals, and which features to enable.
AirTower reads your PLAN.md for task tracking and BUG.md for bug monitoring — plain markdown files that work with any workflow.
