Integration
See your Polar MRR on your Mac wallpaper
Show Polar MRR, revenue and active subscriptions on your Mac wallpaper with Orbl. A read-only key in Keychain, called straight from your Mac. Private.
Your Polar MRR can rest on your wallpaper, visible without ever opening a dashboard. When recurring revenue and active subscriptions sit behind your windows, you stop tabbing over to check and start simply knowing. That is the whole idea behind Orbl.
Orbl is a macOS app that turns your desktop into a calm, living dashboard. Connect Polar once and your numbers update in place.
What Orbl shows from Polar
- MRR — your monthly recurring revenue
- Revenue — what you have earned through Polar
- Active subscriptions — your count of live recurring subscriptions
Each value is a widget you can size S, M, or L, and set to always-on, reveal-only (it appears when you clear your windows), or off.
How to connect Polar to Orbl
- In Polar, create a read-only API key.
- Open Orbl and go to Settings → Integrations.
- Choose Polar and paste your key.
- Pick the values you want and their sizes.
- They appear on your wallpaper within seconds.
No setup wizard, no Orbl account to create.
Local and private by default
Orbl is 100% local. There is no Orbl server, no analytics, and no sign-up. Your read-only key is stored in the macOS Keychain, and Orbl calls Polar directly from your Mac to read your numbers. Nothing routes through us — there is no us to route through. The full story is on our privacy page.
Because the key is read-only, Orbl can see your MRR, revenue, and subscriptions and nothing more. It cannot change your account or your customers.
One price, not a subscription
The Orbl app is free forever. Integrations come with Orbl Premium, a one-time purchase — $29 for the first 50 buyers, then $49, for life. No recurring charge to track your recurring revenue. See pricing for the current number.
Where this fits
Polar is one of several revenue sources Orbl can display. If you keep metrics in more than one place, you might add ChartMogul for MRR and ARR or Gumroad for daily sales. To see how the widgets work together, visit the revenue dashboard.
Trading a dashboard login for a quiet glance at your wallpaper is a small change that compounds. Your MRR becomes ambient — present without asking for attention.
