TrayStatus is a simple yet practical application that indicates whether certain keys are activated in the system tray, developed by Binary Fortress Software from Canada. It supports Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, as well as Alt, Ctrl, and Shift, and also provides information about hard drive activity.

As a small and versatile utility designed for Windows operating systems, TrayStatus provides users with real-time visual feedback regarding the status of their keyboard's Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock keys. You can choose to display the status of one, multiple, or all of the keys mentioned, then a separate system tray icon will be created for each selected option. You can also adjust the hard drive activity settings by defining the read and write bytes threshold.

TrayStatus not only enhances productivity but also improves the overall user experience by providing visual cues that can help to prevent frustration and inefficiency. For users who rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts, being aware of the status of these keys can be particularly beneficial, as it minimizes the chances of executing unintended commands.

Overall, TrayStatus serves as a practical and efficient tool for anyone looking to optimize their typing experience and maintain control over their keyboard inputs. By displaying a small icon in the system tray, it offers a convenient way for users to see the current state of these toggles without having to look down at their keyboard. This is particularly helpful for those who frequently switch between these modes while typing, as it helps to avoid unintended typing errors that can occur when these keys are accidentally activated.
