HAyTray
Home Assistant, one click away
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Your most-used Home Assistant controls, right in the Mac menu bar. See sensor values, switch lights, run scenes and adjust the heating without leaving your work.
Keep your home within reach while you work on your Mac. HAyTray puts selected Home Assistant entities in a compact menu bar panel, ready whenever you need them.
YOUR EVERYDAY CONTROLS
Check temperatures and other sensor values, switch lights and switches, run scenes and adjust supported climate entities — all from the menu bar.
MULTIPLE HOME ASSISTANT INSTANCES
Connect your home, office or other Home Assistant installations. Give each instance its own color and bring the entities you use most into one place.
MAKE IT YOURS
Choose which entities appear, give them custom titles and arrange their order. Entity types and icons are derived from Home Assistant. Unreachable instances are dimmed, and entities confirmed as removed are hidden from the panel. Connection details remain available in Settings.
BUILT FOR YOUR MAC
HAyTray supports light and dark appearance, an optional launch-at-login setting, and English and German. Your configuration, including connection tokens, can sync between Macs through your iCloud account when iCloud is available.
TRY IT WITH SAMPLE DATA
The interactive demo lets you explore the controls without a Home Assistant server or connected devices. Demo changes are temporary and never control your real home.
REQUIREMENTS
macOS 14 or later. To control real devices, you need an accessible Home Assistant instance and a long-lived access token for each instance. Available controls depend on the entities and services provided by your installation.
HAyTray connects directly to the Home Assistant servers you configure. It contains no advertising or third-party analytics and requires no separate HAyTray account.
HAyTray is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Home Assistant project.
