It monitors your prints. It goes Bing. Never leave a print behind.
A Windows 10/11 system tray notification app for SimplyPrint — because nobody expects a notification app. Or a Spanish Inquisition.
MTGB sits quietly in your system tray, watching your SimplyPrint printers in real time. When something happens — print finished, print failed, printer went offline, filament running low, spaghetti detected — it goes Bing.
That's what it does. The Ministry handles the rest.
- Native Windows toast notifications — rich, actionable, unobtrusive
- Monitors unlimited printers — the whole farm, every bay
- Real-time updates via SimplyPrint webhooks or configurable polling
- Per-printer, per-event notification controls
- Action buttons on toasts — Pause, Cancel directly from the notification
- Quiet hours — the Ministry respects your sleep
- Notification grouping — no floods, just useful summaries
- Print history log with stats
- Estimated completion countdowns live in the system tray
- Flyout dashboard — left-click the tray icon for a live overview
- Auto-update — MTGB checks for new versions and updates itself
- Anonymous telemetry — opt-in, no names, no IDs, just numbers
- Community map — optional anonymous dot on a map of MTGB installations
- Start with Windows — always watching, from the moment you log in
- API key or OAuth2 authentication
- Windows 10 (1809 or later) or Windows 11
