What changed in CivoCloudManager.
Last updated By Marcel R. G. Berger
Every shipped release, newest first, with the detail a store release note is too short to carry.
The Mac App Store gives a release about three sentences of "What's New". That is enough to tell you a feature exists, not enough to tell you what it changes about your day. This page keeps the longer version. Only versions that are live on the Mac App Store are listed here, so if a feature is not on this page, it has not shipped yet.
Version 2.1.2, September 2026
Version 2.1.2 reached the Mac App Store on 15 September 2026 and is the current release. The app runs on macOS 15 Sequoia and later, and the whole interface now speaks 16 languages: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Turkish and Russian join the original eight, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. Every install starts with 7 days of full access, free, so the complete dashboard, Kubernetes, databases, DNS and object storage can be tried before you decide. Purchase help is fully localized in every supported language, and at launch the dashboard waits for your purchase status instead of showing the purchase screen first.
Also in 2.1.2: firewall timers, TLS and monitoring
Timed firewall access keeps its schedule across app restarts, and every close is confirmed automatically. Kubernetes connections verify the server certificate before trusting it, for stronger TLS end to end. SSH key storage is more resilient when the Keychain is busy. A live monitor shows CPU, memory and quota across every Civo cloud region. The EULA, privacy policy and imprint open right inside the app, and a fresh green Cloud Shield icon sits in the Dock and the menu bar.
Version 2.1.1, June 2026
The 2.1 line is built around live volume resize. Block storage volumes grow from the volume detail panel: pick the new size, confirm, and the volume expands online, no unmount and no downtime. Civo only allows a volume to grow, never to shrink, so the app enforces that too and will not offer a size below the current one. It is the answer to a database partition filling up at an awkward hour, or to a Kubernetes persistent volume claim that turned out to be sized for last quarter's traffic.
Also in 2.1.1: DNS, firewall sync and quotas
The DNS editor was reworked so records are created and edited inline per domain, covering A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV and NS, with a priority field that appears only for MX and SRV where it belongs. Firewall state in the menu bar syncs faster and refreshes on a sixty second cycle, so what the menu shows and what Civo enforces stay in step without a manual reload. Quota monitoring was refreshed across regions: gauges for instances, CPU, RAM, disk and databases turn amber past seventy percent and red past ninety, and a quota increase can be requested from the same panel.
First release, April 2026
CivoCloudManager launched on 29 April 2026 as a native SwiftUI app for Civo Cloud, built on Apple frameworks only. It talks to the Civo REST API v2 directly from your Mac, with the API key held in the macOS Keychain and Touch ID gating anything that reveals a credential. There is no publisher server in the path and no telemetry: the app is a client for your Civo account and nothing else. The shape was set at launch and has not changed since, a free menu bar tier for firewall access and a full dashboard window for the rest of the account.
Where the authoritative version lives
The Mac App Store listing is the source of truth for the current version number and the official release notes, under "What's New" on the product page. This page adds context, it does not replace that listing. The full commit history is public at github.com/marcelrgberger/civo-cloud-manager, so if you want to know exactly what a release touched, down to the file, read it there.

Guides
Step by step, and honest comparisons.
- 01 Connect your Civo API key Generate the key in the Civo dashboard, paste it once, and let the macOS Keychain hold it from then on.
- 02 Open a firewall for your IP The manual procedure, the dynamic-IP trap it leaves behind, and a free menu-bar path that closes the rule on a deadline.
- 03 vs Lens, OpenLens and k9s Three cluster agnostic tools, one Civo specific one. The difference decides which you want open.
- 04 Civo Object Storage over S3 The regional endpoint, working configuration for s3cmd, rclone and the AWS CLI, and what a native client does differently.
- 05 Civo DNS on Mac Point a domain at Civo's nameservers, then keep the zone in a native app instead of a browser tab.
