What is it?

Status Trio is a macOS status app that combines Wi-Fi, battery, and volume into a single compact icon. The icon can appear in the menu bar, the Dock, or both, and it is inspired by the combined status icon on iPhone, adapted for Mac with volume in place of cellular data.

Clicking the icon opens a popover with more detail: a Wi-Fi panel listing nearby networks and link information, a Bluetooth panel for paired devices that can be connected or disconnected from the list, a Battery Details page, and the audio output currently playing. When Bluetooth audio is active, the middle glyph can switch to that device's symbol and the volume indicator turns blue.

Appearance is adjustable, including icon size, symbol scale, ring thickness, status colors, and the order of popover sections. The app is written in Swift with SwiftUI and AppKit, supports Apple Silicon and Intel, and uses Sparkle for signed updates. It does not read or store Wi-Fi passwords.
