more Hi use this app everyday - really nifty awesome tool. Added one obscure coin and now, it crashes everytime I load. UPDATE: Dev is an absolute legend! Messaged him and fixed the issue within HOURS!! (See his reply for fix if you are having the same issue) Thank you so much! Such a useful app! If I could add stock tickers, it would dominate!!!
Developer Response Hi Ken,So sorry for the bugs, if the app continuously crashes. Open the Terminal and input `defaults delete app.tickerpad` to clear the macOS app defaults data (AKA data storage.) and then you could try to restart the app.And also thanks for your email reply for the crash details, the bug has been fixed, the new version will be submitted.Have a nice day!

Installed 3 other similar apps before landing on this one. I was looking for 1) a minimal easy-to-glance UI with sparkline, 2) supported my DeFi investment tokens, and 3) was updated regularly by dev... THIS IS THE ONE!
Developer Response Thanks for your support! Looking forwart to share this app with your friends.💕

The data is always wrong. The app is useless if it doesn't show the real-time price.
Developer Response Fixed! The coingecko changed their policy. And now we have moved the data source to Binance and Coinbase.

A new interactive guide shows where to find TickerPad in the menu bar and how to reveal icons hidden by menu bar tools.
The guide appears on your first launch. Later launches stay quiet; opening TickerPad again while it is already running brings the guide back when you need help finding the app.
2.5.3 Sep 11
Opening TickerPad from Spotlight or Finder now shows the price panel even when its menu bar icon is hidden. The global shortcut also opens the panel independently, while login startup stays quiet. A dismissible tip explains how to find the app.
Redeeming a code is now simpler. Click Redeem Code in Settings or the Pro upgrade window to go straight to the App Store and enter your code.
2.5.2 Sep 11
Menus and right-click actions now have clear icons and more descriptive labels. Turn Launch at Login on or off directly from More Options, with the setting kept in sync across the app. Fixed mixed-language pinning actions after changing the app language.
Pinning or unpinning a coin now keeps the price window and its pointer centered below the menu bar without jumping.
The More Options menu shows keyboard shortcuts from the first opening. Use Command-F to open ticker search and select the current query, Command-comma to open Preferences, and Command-W to close the price window. Menu labels and translations have also been improved.
New users now start with BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, HYPE, UNI, AAVE, and LINK, while existing watchlists stay exactly as configured. A short onboarding animation demonstrates how to right-click a coin and open its action menu.
Open your preferred exchange or DEX with a keyboard shortcut. Add its link directly in Settings.
See exactly what Pro adds with a clear Free and Pro comparison. Trial reminders are now consistent across the app, and expired-trial notices can be dismissed. A refreshed Pro trial banner makes the remaining days easier to read, with balanced colors in light and dark mode.
Settings are now easier to navigate, with a dedicated Menu Bar section and a live preview that stays visible while you scroll.
Hover over the 7-day trend setting to preview the sparkline. Pro features are now clearly marked, and switches remain fully clickable.
Text fields now support standard macOS editing shortcuts, including Command-V for pasting redemption codes.

2.3.0 Feb 23
What's New in v2.1.8
Improved Connection Reliability
Fixed a crash (EXC_BAD_ACCESS) caused by a data race in WebSocket callbacks. All mutable state is now safely accessed on the main thread.
Fixed a bug where failed connection attempts could permanently block reconnection, requiring an app restart.
Fixed a bug where switching networks (e.g. Wi-Fi to hotspot) could exhaust the retry budget, preventing the app from reconnecting.
Rewrote the health check logic to detect and recover from all types of disconnections, including silent connection loss. Recovery time reduced from up to 90 seconds to under 30 seconds.
The app now correctly shows network status immediately on launch, even when starting without an internet connection.
Connection Status Indicator
Added a subtle blinking dot to the right of your prices in the menu bar when there is a connection issue. Orange indicates reconnecting; red indicates no network.
Hover over the menu bar to see a detailed status message describing the issue.
The indicator disappears automatically when the connection is fully restored. If everything is working normally, you won't see anything at all.
Performance Improvements
Reduced background network polling to minimize battery and bandwidth usage.
Throttled status bar refresh rate to prevent UI lag when receiving rapid price updates.
HTTP price polling is now skipped when the WebSocket connection is active, avoiding redundant requests.
