My side project: a macOS menu bar app that watches my Cloudflare usage, now with widgets, Raycast and an MCP server

Hi r/SideProject 👋 I run a bunch of side projects on Cloudflare (Workers, R2, D1). Two things kept bugging me: Surprise bills. I kept seeing posts from people who got an unexpected cloud invoice, and checking how close I was to my limits meant clicking through several dashboard pages. Deploys were invisible. After a git push I'd open the dashboard just to see whether the build had passed. So I built MFlare , a native macOS menu bar app that keeps all of this

AI 分析

痛点:使用 Cloudflare 的开发者担心意外账单(超额扣费),且查看配额用量和部署构建状态需要在多个 Dashboard 页面之间来回点击,缺乏实时提醒。

目标用户:在 Cloudflare 上运行 Workers、R2、D1、KV 的独立开发者、小型团队和 side project 作者,尤其 macOS 用户

变现:Freemium:免费版只监控 Workers 和单个账号;付费版 $2-4/月 或 $19-29 买断,解锁多账号、R2/D1 配额提醒、部署失败通知、团队席位;也可通过 Raycast/MCP 生态做引流,并做付费转化

MVP:2 周 MVP:用 SwiftUI 做一个 macOS 菜单栏 App,通过 Cloudflare OAuth 授权后轮询 Workers 和 R2 的用量及配额,接近 80%/100% 时发送本地通知,点开菜单栏即可看到用量条和最近一次部署状态;不做 widget、不做 MCP,先验证核心价值

竞品:Cloudflare 官方 Dashboard 的 Billing Alerts / Notifications、Grafana、Datadog 的 Cloudflare 集成监控、各种开源的 cloudflare-usage 查询脚本、其他云成本监控工具(如 Vantage、CloudZero,偏企业级)

摘要:作者因为担心 Cloudflare 意外账单和无法实时看到部署状态,用 Swift/SwiftUI 做了 macOS 菜单栏 App MFlare,可监控 Workers、R2、D1、KV、Durable Objects 的配额,在 80%/100% 时告警,并监听部署构建日志,还附带 Raycast 扩展和 MCP server。帖子本身没有给出收入或定价数据,但「意外账单」和「多页面查配额」是开发者社区反复出现的真实痛点。产品形态轻量,单人可复刻,但付费意愿尚未被验证。
