The Dark tile needs permission to automate System Events. macOS asks the first time.
Display and sound
Wide sliders set the built-in display’s brightness and the volume, each with its percentage. The volume has a mute button, and under it a menu of the Mac’s outputs.
The brightness slider uses a private framework, so it isn’t shown on a Mac where that’s unavailable.
Batteries
Rings show the Mac, AirPods (each bud and the case), keyboards, mice and more. Paired devices that aren’t connected are listed underneath, headphones first, each with a Connect button. The card scrolls when there are more than fit. Right-click a connected device to disconnect it.
The system line
CPU, memory and download speed run along the bottom of the batteries card. Point at it for disk space and the upload speed. It only samples while the tab is open.
