Status Trio

What is Status Trio?

Status Trio is a native macOS utility for people who want to reduce menu bar clutter while still keeping key system information visible. It combines Wi-Fi status, battery level, and volume into a single live icon that can be shown in the menu bar, the Dock, or both. The app is designed for quick at-a-glance monitoring, with a popover and settings that let users adjust how the combined indicator looks and behaves. Common uses include saving space on smaller screens, keeping a cleaner menu bar, and checking connection, power, and audio status without opening separate system menus. Status Trio is published by Zhanghong Liu and is offered as a lightweight Mac helper rather than a full system management suite.

Key features

• Show Wi-Fi, battery, and volume in one live status icon
• Place the combined indicator in the menu bar, the Dock, or both
• Open a popover to view current system status details
• Customize icon size, ring thickness, and display style
• Show battery charging and low-power states in the icon
• Reflect audio state changes, including Bluetooth audio output

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

Status Trio is a small Mac status utility that reads system information such as battery, network, and audio state so it can display them in one icon. That kind of access is normal for its purpose. The main practical consideration is that current distribution outside the Mac App Store may trigger macOS security warnings the first time you open it, so install only from the official site and keep the app updated.

Recommendation: Keep Status Trio if you like having battery, Wi-Fi, and volume combined into a single compact indicator. If you do not use its menu bar or Dock status view, you can remove it without affecting core macOS features.
