Domains contacted by iStat Menus

iStat Menus contacts some domains under normal operation. If you have any questions about network requests made by iStat Menus that are not covered below, please feel free to get in touch.

Weather, update checker, and IP address #

iStat Menus may contact istatmenus.app, bjango.com, or their subdomains to check if there’s a new version of the app available, to fetch weather information, or to fetch the public IP address (as shown in the network item).

To check immediately for updates, choose Check for Updates from the iStat Menus menu. Automatically Install Updates can be disabled if you’d prefer not to install updates.

Paddle #

Purchases are done via Paddle, and we also request localised prices prior to purchase, from checkout.paddle.com. These requests may show up as one of Paddle’s other domain names in some firewalls and tools.

Network status #

If you’re using the internet status feature in iStat Menus, that’s facilitated by pinging any of the following addresses: 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1, or google.com. You can also set a custom address.
