Managing a Discord bot: built Swift menu bar app for status and control
What it does
OpenClaw builds a Swift menu bar app to manage a Discord bot from macOS. It displays gateway status, connection state, and provides controls to start, stop, or restart the bot. The app includes a log viewer for tracking activity and sends desktop notifications when the bot's status changes. Built and ready to use in about an hour.
Why it is worth it
Building native dev tools with AI is approachable and fast. A menu bar app saves time on status checks by putting everything one click away instead of switching to terminal windows.
