Looking for some Polestar/Volvo owners to test my macOS app
Hey!
I've been building a macOS menu bar app called Hisingen and I'm looking for some Polestar and Volvo owners who'd be willing to try it and help me find the things I've inevitably broken.
I originally built it because I wanted a quick way of checking my car without having to pick up my phone because I kept forgetting to charge it! Currently it supports everything the mobile app supports and more
Currently it can show:
• Battery percentage and range
• Charging status, power and estimated completion time
• Charging history
• Battery information and diagnostics
• Doors and windows
• Lock status
• Tyre pressure and warnings
• Climate status
• Vehicle location
• Odometer
• Software and OTA information
• Service information
• Vehicle diagnostics and warnings
• Vehicle information/specifications
• Notifications
• Multiple vehicles
• Siri integration
• Apple Shortcuts
• Remote climate start/stop
• Remote locking/unlocking
• Other remote commands where the car/API supports them
It's completely free and open source. There's no Hisingen server or account in the middle either. The app talks directly to the Volvo/Polestar services and authentication is stored locally in the macOS Keychain.
I'm mainly interested in finding broken stuff. Wrong values, missing information, features that don't show up, remote commands that behave strangely, UI that makes no sense, etc. If you find something, tell me. That's exactly what I need and all feedback is good feedback!
And if there's something you'd actually want a Mac companion app for your car to do that Hisingen doesn't do yet, I'm interested in that too

It's still considered "beta" stage, as it's only been tested on my Polestar 2 so I would love it if it was tested on more!
