What It Does
Statuz sits in your menu bar. Click it, do your thing, move on.
You get a badge that shows how many posts are scheduled. Not drafts. Not history. Just what's queued up. You can turn this off if you don't want to see it.
Click the icon and you get a simple menu: New Post, Schedule, Settings, Quit. That's it. No nested menus, no confusion.
Want to post a photo? Drag it onto the icon. The composer opens with your photo already attached.
Everything uses native macOS conventions. It looks like it belongs because it does.
Why This Matters
Most social media tools want to be the center of your attention. Big windows, lots of chrome, constant notifications. We don't do that.
Statuz gets out of your way. It's there when you need it, invisible when you don't. One click to post, then back to what you were doing.
This is how Mac apps should work.
Things Worth Knowing
The badge shows scheduled posts only. Makes sense - those are the ones that matter.
Drag files onto the menu bar icon when you're in a hurry. Fastest way to post with media.
Learn the keyboard shortcuts. Cmd+Ctrl+C for new post, Cmd+Ctrl+S for schedule. They're shown in the menu so you won't forget. All customizable in Settings > Keyboard.
Keep Statuz running if you have posts scheduled. It needs to be running to publish them. But don't worry - it barely uses any memory.
Quit from the menu when you're done. No dock icon to hunt down.
