Menu bar
Saiki's S in the menu bar shows when an agent needs you or your Mac is being kept awake. A click opens the Menu Bar Panel, and a right-click opens its menu: the bar, Settings and your agents.
The icon
Saiki has no Dock icon. Its only permanent place on screen is a small S near the right end of the menu bar. The icon can show two small marks:
| Mark | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Orange dot, top right | An agent is waiting for you: a permission to approve or a question to answer. |
| Small ring, bottom right | Keep Awake is holding your Mac awake. |
Point at the icon to see a short summary, like how many agents need you, how many are working, and whether the Mac is being kept awake.
The menu
Right-click the S (or ⌃-click it) to open its menu. A plain click opens the Menu Bar Panel instead; with the panel turned off, any click opens the menu. If you've set a right-click to toggle Keep Awake, it does that rather than open the menu. From top to bottom:
Your agents
- A heading that counts them, like 1 needs you · 2 working, or No agents running.
- Up to eight agents that are still running, each with its app's logo, its title and what it's doing. Agents that need you say so in orange. Choose one to open the bar right at it.
- Show Agents opens the Agents hub in the bar.
Keep Awake
- Keep Agents Awake keeps your Mac awake, lid closed too, while an agent works, and lets it sleep again a minute after the last one finishes. A check mark shows when it's on.
- Keep Awake has a submenu: For 30 Minutes, For 1 Hour, For 2 Hours, For 4 Hours or Until I Stop It. While it's on, the item says until when (like Keep Awake · Until 3:40 PM), and the submenu starts with Turn Off.
See Keep Awake for how it works with the lid closed.
