The app shows a code you approve on your Mac page.

What it reads

Whether the Mac is in use and its item is on screen, and the hardware model. The full list.

Optional: keep it on screen

macOS hides menu bar items from the left end when an app's menus need the room. A new item starts at the left. Hold ⌘ and drag BidMeme toward the clock once. It stays there. A minute the item is off screen is not paid, so the further right it sits, the fewer minutes you lose.
