# Download Bambu Bar for Mac

Version **1.3.0** · 19.7 MB · universal · macOS 26 Tahoe or later

## Install

1. [Download Bambu Bar 1.3.0](https://github.com/rolottr/bambu-bar/releases/download/v1.3.0/Bambu-Bar-1.3.0-macos.zip) (`Bambu-Bar-1.3.0-macos.zip`).
2. Unzip it and move **Bambu Bar.app** to your **Applications** folder.
3. Open it. Builds on the Releases page are universal (Apple silicon and Intel), **Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple**, so they open normally.

Requires **macOS 26 Tahoe or later** and a Bambu Lab printer on the same local network.

## Verify the download

Download the [SHA-256 checksum](https://github.com/rolottr/bambu-bar/releases/download/v1.3.0/Bambu-Bar-1.3.0-macos.zip.sha256) next to the ZIP and run:

```sh
shasum -a 256 -c Bambu-Bar-1.3.0-macos.zip.sha256
```

## Build it yourself

You need Xcode 26 or later and [XcodeGen](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen) (`brew install xcodegen`). No third-party Swift packages.

```sh
git clone https://github.com/rolottr/bambu-bar.git
cd bambu-bar
./scripts/build.sh               # build/App.noindex/Bambu Bar.app (universal, release)
./scripts/install.sh             # copy to /Applications and open it
```

## Updates

Copies from GitHub check this project's releases once a day (turn it off in Settings) and offer the download; **Check for Updates…** in the app menu asks right away. Bambu Bar never installs anything by itself. The Mac App Store version, coming soon, updates through the App Store.
