About Holeberry

Holeberry puts your Pi-hole in the menu bar, up to two instances at once, kept in step with each other. Check blocking status and query counts at a glance, disable blocking on a timer or indefinitely, unblock whatever broke in the tab you're looking at, and allowlist recently blocked domains, all without opening the Pi-hole web interface.

Features

  • Status at a Glance: Blocking state and total queries and blocks, live in the menu bar.
  • Two Instances, Never Drifting: Manage up to two Pi-holes at once, every block, unblock and allowlist applies to both, so they cannot fall out of sync.
  • Disable on a Timer: Turn blocking off globally for a set period or indefinitely, with a countdown in the menu bar and an automatic re-enable.
  • Unblock the Tab You're On: One click unblocks whatever broke in your current browser tab: Safari, Chrome and Chromium, Firefox and Zen, without disabling everything.
  • Deal With Recent Blocks: Browse what was recently blocked and allowlist or unblock it straight from the menu.
  • Credentials in the Keychain: Nothing is written to disk; the connection details live in the macOS Keychain.

Why Holeberry?

Running a Pi-hole is mostly invisible until something breaks, a checkout that won't load, a link that goes nowhere, and then it means finding the machine's address, logging into the web interface, and hunting for the domain that got caught. That round trip is long enough that people disable blocking entirely and forget to turn it back on.

Watch From the Menu Bar

Blocking state and query counts sit up there, so you know whether the Pi-hole is even the reason something failed.

Fix Just This Tab

One click unblocks the domain behind the page you're on, instead of switching blocking off for the whole network.

If You Must Disable, Set a Timer

The countdown runs in the menu bar and blocking re-enables itself, so it never stays off for a week by accident.
