Bitcoin Forum

Anybody know of an app for mac that gives a real time current price for bitcoin? I looked all over a few app forums for it and only found stuff for iPhone and Android but not for a mac computer.

I am surprised that I could not find anything like this, it would be really cool! Some simple app that when the user roles the mouse over it or whatever, it does a fast online check for the current up to date Bitcoin price and displays it in a small popup window or something. There can even be an option to have it constantly be displayed in real time at the top of the mac desktop on the upper right side (like where the time and battery and all that other stuff is). It would be a very simple but very useful little app for buying and selling Bitcoin.

Anyone know of anything already there (I could not find anything for mac) or is good at writing apps and wants to do this for the BItcoin comunity?

ok thanks! Nice, your talented. But can you make it so it always displays the current Bitcoin rate in the top of the screen kinda like the SMC fan control (for example) does with the temp and RPMs of my computer? ( http://www.eidac.de/products ) That would be cool so all I would have to do is just look at the top of my screen for a real time Bitcoin rate. :)

p.s. just a bit of unsolicited design thoughts - the background on your site http://stith.me makes it very difficult to read the content (very hard on the eyes to read text off that background). Here are a zillion seamless backgrounds to choose from: http://webdesignledger.com/freebies/100-seamless-patterns-great-for-creating-website-backgrounds

Or just make it some nice simple color. Just my .02 coming from myself as a guy with successful website to a guy that makes nice apps. :)

This sounds like exactly what the OP wants

AWESOME! Thanks for letting me know about this!
