Statz for Mac

Quick overview

Statz is a small utility that keeps your presence synchronized across a variety of online services. If you want a simple way to broadcast what you're doing without hopping between dozens of apps, it handles the status updates for you.

Supported services and future growth

• Skype
• Colloquy
• Adium

Statz currently integrates with nine popular services in total and, since it's open-source, new integrations are likely to appear over time. A social network such as Facebook would be an obvious and useful addition.

How to change your status

Updating your message is straightforward:

1. Choose the service you want to update.
2. Type the new status text.
3. Save or confirm — the change goes into effect immediately.

The process is intentionally minimal, so you can switch statuses quickly.

Limitations and intended use

While Statz makes it easy to publish your current status, it does not provide a way to view other users’ statuses or facilitate conversations. That makes it ideal for people who want to broadcast updates without engaging in chat, but less useful if you need two-way interaction.

Recommended alternative

If you’re exploring other options, consider a mainstream platform like Minecraft (Java & Bedrock editions — paid), depending on what you’re trying to achieve with presence or community interaction.

Final thoughts

Overall, Statz is a handy, no-frills tool for keeping multiple online status messages in sync. It’s best suited for users who only need to announce their status rather than interact with others.
