Requirements

SignalRoom needs macOS 15 or later on a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later).

Getting started

SignalRoom lives in your menu bar, at the right-hand side. Click any item to open its panel; use ← and → to move between panels and Esc to close. The SignalRoom icon at the left of its items opens a menu with About SignalRoom, SignalRoom Pro, Customise Menu Bar, Settings (⌘,), Usage History (⌥⌘H) and Quit (⌘Q).

Open Settings → Menu Bar. The picture at the top is your menu bar:

Add an item: drag it from the list below into the picture, or choose Add.
Reorder: drag an item along the bar.
Remove: drag it off the bar, or right-click it and choose Remove from Menu Bar.
Change its look: click it and choose a graph, bars, cores or just the number. Some items also let you choose what the number shows, such as battery time left or watts.

Below the picture, Spacing sets the room between items and Compact charts makes the charts shorter, which helps beside a notch. More has ready-made presets, a way to set every chart at once and Reset Menu Bar. The clock offers several date and time layouts, from a compact time to the full date. Your real menu bar changes as you go.

You can also right-click an item in the real menu bar and choose Customise Menu Bar.

macOS hides menu bar items when there is no room, which is common beside the notch. SignalRoom tells you when this happens. To make room:

hide menu bar items you don't need from other apps;
in Settings → Menu Bar, show fewer SignalRoom items, turn on Compact charts or reduce Spacing;
on macOS 26, check that SignalRoom is allowed in System Settings → Menu Bar.

While SignalRoom is hidden, open it again from your Applications folder to reach its settings.

Open the Dashboard from anywhere

Press ⌃⌥⌘S to open the Dashboard from any app. Choose another shortcut, or turn it off, in Settings → General → Open Dashboard. If another app already uses the combination, SignalRoom says so; pick a different one.

Purchases and restore

SignalRoom is a free download with an optional once-off Pro purchase and no subscription. Open SignalRoom Pro from the SignalRoom menu to buy it, or choose Restore Purchase using the Apple Account that made the purchase.

If a purchase is awaiting approval, Pro stays locked until Apple confirms it. Do not purchase again while waiting. If a restore does not find a purchase, check your Apple Account and connection before trying again. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Choose your notifications

Notifications start off. Open Settings → Notifications, choose the categories and thresholds you want and turn on Enable notifications. Set how long a condition must last, the repeat cooldown and quiet hours. macOS asks for notification permission only if you opt in.

Claude or Codex shows no data

Open Settings → AI Accounts and choose the relevant .claude or .codex folder. SignalRoom keeps read-only macOS permission to that folder, not your account credentials, and local usage records must exist on this Mac. Costs are API-equivalent estimates from the logs available, not your subscription bill; unknown model prices can leave a total unavailable. Claude Code's local logs do not include account-wide limit readings.

For a very long Codex session, SignalRoom starts from the most recent part of its log, so the first figures appear quickly.

Explore and export history

With Pro, open Usage History and choose an interval. Preview a CSV or PNG export, then choose where to save it. Gaps mean nothing was recorded then; they are not zero readings. Review exported files before sharing them.

Battery and hardware readings

On battery, the menu bar can chart the charge since you unplugged and show the time left. Runtime estimates depend on how your Mac is being used and are not guaranteed. Battery history collects discharge periods and daily health readings over time. The Battery panel also lists the charge of connected accessories that report it to macOS, such as Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.

Some Macs do not expose every sensor. Desktop Macs have no battery, and fanless Macs have no fan speed. GPU, temperature, fan, disk activity, battery health and power readings come from the optional helper.

Optional helper

CPU, memory, network, storage capacity, basic battery and Calendar work without the helper. Pro AI analysis, history and customisation also work without it. See SignalRoom Helper for the download, what it adds and how to remove it.

Uninstall SignalRoom

Quit SignalRoom from the SignalRoom menu. If Launch at login is on, turn it off in Settings → General first.
Move SignalRoom from your Applications folder to the Bin.
To delete its settings and history too, in Finder choose Go → Go to Folder and move ~/Library/Containers/com.woodenamethyst.signalroom and ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.woodenamethyst.signalroom to the Bin.
If you installed the helper, remove it as described on the helper page.
