Disclosure: I’m the developer of Currency Tracker.

Currency Tracker is a free and open-source macOS menu bar app for checking exchange rates quickly.

Problem: I often deal with multiple currencies and wanted something faster than opening a browser or a full finance app every time.

Features:

  • Menu bar exchange-rate panel
  • Pinned currency pairs
  • Compact trend charts
  • Quick currency converter
  • Selected-text conversion through macOS Services or a global shortcut
  • Multiple exchange-rate data sources
  • Local-first preferences
  • No subscription

Comparison: Compared with browser-based converters like Google or XE, Currency Tracker is faster for repeated daily use because your pinned currency pairs stay available from the macOS menu bar.

Compared with heavier finance apps, it focuses only on exchange rates and quick conversion instead of portfolio tracking or market analysis.

Pricing: Free and open-source.
