SC Menu is a lightweight macOS menu bar utility for monitoring PIV-based smart cards and their certificates. It displays a green smart card icon when a card is inserted and an empty icon when no card is detected. Users can inspect certificates stored on connected cards directly from the menu bar. Configurable notifications report card insertion, removal, and upcoming expiration dates. Administrators can customize these alerts through MDM configuration profiles. The application also supports running scripts automatically when smart cards are inserted or removed. Login item registration can be managed through command-line arguments. Built with Swift, SC Menu integrates with macOS smart card technologies and provides optional application update controls.
