View CGM data from Nightscout in the OS X menu bar.

• OS X (tested with 10.8 and 10.10, may work with earlier versions)
• A working installation of Nightscout (cgm-remote-monitor)

1. Download this zip file containing the app and unzip it.
2. Drag "Nightscout Menubar" into your "Applications" folder.
3. Run it.
4. (Optional) To run automatically on startup, go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items, and add Nightscout Menubar to the list.

This uses rumps, which provides a nice interface to PyObjC to create simple menu bar apps, and py2app, a Python setuptools command which allows you to package Python scripts as standalone OS X applications.

To run the app in development:

git clone https://github.com/mddub/nightscout-osx-menubar
cd nightscout-osx-menubar
pip install -r requirements.txt --user  # This may take a while
python nightscout_osx_menubar.py

(We install requirements with --user because rumps is not compatible with virtualenv. You could alternatively sudo pip install.)

To package the app:

python setup.py py2app

• If an error occurs while running the standalone app, some additional information was probably logged to the Console app (in Applications > Utilities).

• If you're running the app in development, you can get extra debug information from rumps by passing the --debug flag: python nightscout_osx_menubar.py --debug
