The glance
More glance. Less checking.
The current value and direction stay visible beside the clock. Open RangeTrace for status, age, target placement, a recent trend, and your 24-hour time in range. Then get back to what you were doing.
WHY RANGETRACE
More than a number and a graph.
Mac menu-bar CGM apps usually stop at the current reading, trend, and chart. RangeTrace adds proactive awareness and useful daily context without turning your menu bar into a dashboard.
One click, 24 hours

Built into macOS

ALERTS
The heads-up
Alerts when it matters. Quiet when it does not.
Optional alerts watch your thresholds, the speed and direction of change, and whether the feed itself has gone quiet.
Threshold and signal-loss alerts
Choose urgent low, low, high, and urgent high levels, and know when fresh readings stop.
Fast change and predicted low
Get an early heads-up when glucose moves quickly or trends toward your urgent-low level.
Quiet hours and snooze
Silence routine alerts overnight or pause everything temporarily. Urgent alerts keep a clear safety floor.
Your Mac
Looks at home because it is.
RangeTrace is a native macOS menu-bar app. Choose which parts use range colors, choose the fields in your menu-bar readout, pick an accent, and keep the interface as quiet or as vivid as you like.

BUILT FROM DAILY USE
“I live with type 1 diabetes, and I built RangeTrace because I wanted the glucose number I check all day to live where I already look. I use it every day on my own Mac.”
Made by the person who relies on it.
Privacy and safety
Your account stays on your Mac.
Your Dexcom credentials are stored in the macOS Keychain. RangeTrace has no separate account, no analytics, and no ads.
Not a medical device
RangeTrace is not a substitute for your Dexcom app or a blood glucose meter. Do not use it to make treatment decisions. Always confirm a reading in your Dexcom app or with a fingerstick before you act on it.
GOOD TO KNOW
Questions
What do I need to use RangeTrace?
A Mac running macOS 14 or later and a Dexcom Share account with sharing enabled.
Which Dexcom systems are compatible?
RangeTrace works with Dexcom G6, Dexcom G7, and Dexcom G7 15 Day when Dexcom Share is enabled. It reads follower data from Dexcom Share and does not connect directly to your sensor. Share availability and supported systems may vary by country.
Does RangeTrace replace the Dexcom app?
No. RangeTrace is a glanceable companion. Keep the Dexcom app as your primary source and always confirm readings there before treatment decisions.
Can I use mmol/L?
Yes. Choose mg/dL or mmol/L in Display settings. RangeTrace updates the reading, target range, graph, and alerts together.
Can I follow someone else’s glucose?
Yes. Sign in to the Dexcom Share account you follow, whether it is for you or someone you care for.
Can I turn alerts off?
Yes. Alerts are optional and off by default. You can enable individual zones, silence routine alerts during quiet hours, or snooze alerts from the menu-bar panel.
Is RangeTrace a subscription?
No. RangeTrace will be a one-time $2.99 purchase from the Mac App Store.
