Every release. Updates arrive in the app through Sparkle.
0.1.0 16 Sep 2026
- Profiles of hostname overrides written to a managed block in /etc/hosts through a root helper.
- Profiles expire automatically (8 hours by default) and are turned off on launch if they expired while HostBar was not running.
- Menu bar icon shows how many profiles are active.
- Resolve panel: hosts file match, system answer, and what every configured DNS server (per interface, per VPN scope, per /etc/resolver file) answers.
- One-click DNS cache flush.
- Hosts file changes made by other tools are detected; Reapply or Adopt from the banner.
- Quitting with active overrides asks whether to turn them off; the answer can be remembered.
- Copy Summary on the Resolve tab produces plain text for Slack or a bug report.
- Demo mode for screenshots.
