LeakBar

Current Release

LeakBar 1.2.4

macOS 14.0+ required · arm64 (Apple Silicon / M-series only)

Important: LeakBar is built exclusively for Apple Silicon (arm64 / M1 and later). It will not run on Intel Macs (x64). The download and all updates are arm64 only.

Use this page as the canonical download surface. It identifies the exact public DMG, the stable redirect path, and the SHA-256 for the current release.

Menu bar readability, pre-Force-Quit pressure assistance, and package identity repair: the critical popover emphasis now settles instead of oscillating, high memory pressure can auto-capture local evidence before macOS reaches Force Quit, and packaged apps carry the green teardrop icon metadata.

What's New In This Release

Critical popover rows and headers now use a short settling animation rather than a repeating pulse, keeping the menu readable after click-open.
Pre-Force-Quit pressure assist automatically captures local vmmap/leaks evidence for the largest eligible pressure contributor when memory pressure stays high.
The pressure assist is non-destructive: restart, terminate, and force quit actions remain explicit user choices.
Settings and documentation now describe automatic evidence capture as both wrapped-session and pre-Force-Quit pressure evidence, with the same local rate limits and budgets.
The distribution package now embeds the checked-in green teardrop AppIcon.icns and declares CFBundleIconFile so Finder, Gatekeeper, and update artifacts use the intended .app icon.
The release lane still verifies trial lifecycle email delivery, and the final-day trial notice remains dismissed locally.

Installation

Open the downloaded .dmg file.
Drag LeakBar.app into your Applications folder.
Eject the disk image.
Launch LeakBar from Applications.
On first launch, macOS may show a security prompt — click Open.
LeakBar appears in your menu bar.
Future updates arrive inside the installed app automatically.

Updates

LeakBar uses an in-app updater after installation. Download the DMG once, move LeakBar.app into Applications, and let the installed app handle future updates.

The public convenience redirect is /download/latest. If you need the public update feed directly, use the appcast.

License Activation

After purchase, LeakBar creates a license record against the email address you provided at checkout and normally sends fulfillment through the configured delivery provider. The key is in the format LB-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

Open LeakBar from Applications. First launch opens the setup wizard where you can submit the license key, and Settings keeps the same activation path available later.

If you prefer Terminal workflows, you can still run leakbar activate-license --key LB-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

You can verify the locally stored license state with leakbar license-status, or confirm it in the app after activation.

If you did not receive your license key, use the recovery form on the homepage or contact support@leakbar.com.

First Run

First launch opens the setup wizard. Monitoring begins after you enter a trial email or a purchased license key. Trial registration sends lifecycle emails and does not upload process data, then LeakBar lives in your menu bar, builds baselines over the first few hours, and can surface explicit inspect, restart, recover, export, and support flows from the menu bar runtime.
