Can I see if my background agent is running using a macOS menu bar icon?

Yes, a native Swift status bar application displays a menu bar icon with color-coded green or red indicators to show real-time service health. This provides immediate visibility into whether the background agent is active.

What is the best way to restart a background process after a configuration change on macOS?

Using a native macOS status bar application is an efficient way to restart background processes. It provides a menu bar interface to trigger restarts directly after configuration changes without needing to execute terminal commands.
