Hello Product Hunters! 👋 I'm Stewan, and am excited to share Statuz – your new favorite social tool that lives right in your menu bar! 🚀 🤔 What is Statuz? Statuz is a native macOS app that lets you manage and post to multiple social platforms directly from your menu bar. No more switching between tabs or apps – everything you need is just one click away! Currently supports X/Twitter and BlueSky. ❓ Why I Built This As someone who's active on social networks, I found myself constantly doom scrolling instead of sharing thoughts and updates. So I wanted something that would: - Be instantly accessible - Feel native to macOS - Make posting to multiple platforms effortless - Support rich media and threads - Make me want to share more So that's why I built Statuz – to solve these pain points and create a tool that makes life easier and natural on macOS.

This has a lot of potential, congrats for the idea and for the launch!

The Mac menu bar is a great location - quick, portable, and elegant. I'm really excited to see another product for this location. It would be even better if it could add AI capabilities tailored to each social platform, like content refresh features.

This is exactly what I needed! 🙌 Love the menu bar approach - so much cleaner than juggling multiple tabs. Any plans to support more platforms like Threads or Mastodon?

Congrats @stewones on the launch! This is such a great idea-- it makes using my Mac so much easier.

I really needed this! Thanks Statuz team! Congratulations...

Gladly supporting this!

This is a great concept. One thing I'd suggest is adding a dark mode for those late-night sessions. It would make it even easier on the eyes.
