Your Mac is talking. Are you listening?
Simple Menu STATUS lives quietly in your menu bar. One click shows everything: CPU, memory, GPU, battery health, storage, live network speed, and process activity. No extra windows. No performance drain. Just instant clarity whenever you need it.
THE CAR THAT KNOWS YOUR CPU
Watch a car in your menu bar that reflects CPU usage.
Idle CPU — the car cruises
50% load — city speed
100% CPU — full throttle
You can see your Mac working hard before you even click.

Process Monitor for Caffeine Mode
This update adds a new Process Monitor option to Caffeine Mode.
You can now select a local running process and let Simple Menu STATUS keep your Mac awake while that process is active. The app shows the selected process’s 1-minute average CPU usage, lets you set a CPU threshold, and automatically turns Caffeine Mode off when the process stays below that threshold for 5 consecutive checks.
This is useful for long-running developer tools, background jobs, render tasks, downloads, and AI agents such as coding assistants.
Also included:
• Select a running process for Caffeine Mode
• 1-minute average CPU usage display
• Adjustable CPU threshold slider
• Automatic Caffeine stop after sustained low process activity
• Visual menu bar indication during low-activity confirmation
• Improved popover scrolling on smaller screens
• Performance and reliability improvements
All process monitoring runs locally on your Mac. Simple Menu STATUS does not inspect files, prompts, messages, terminal output, or editor contents.
