It would be great to list the email address of the account users are signed into somewhere maybe under Simplenote > Account? Users often start using the app and then never sign out for a couple of years. Then they get a new computer or device and can't remember what email address they used when they first signed up and there's no way to check in the app.

Other clients currently do this:

Electron

Android

iOS

Another +1 for this feature in 2732260-zen. The user just wanted to figure out their account from the app:

I cannot figure out what account I'm logged into in my macOS app. It's not in About, it's not in Settings, there's just Sign Out in the app menu but I don't want to sign out, I just want to know my account (email address). Could you add it please?

I noticed this today while testing the version 1.10.0 beta. I wanted to sign in to the same account in another Simplenote client but I wasn't sure what account I was logged into in the macOS app.

The email address could be shown in the menu, next to Log out, similar to the Android app.
