I decided to try Usage after being unsatisfied with the aesthetics of the popular Stats app. The Good: - Beautiful design - Minimal performance footprint - Although I don't personally use them - the widgets are nice touch. The Bad: - No meaningful configuration. Each component has 3~ basic, preset setting toggles. - For example, the Memory menu bar components include a bar graph for Used and Swap Used, but not Pressure - Lack of any real customization beyond 5 pre-made color schemes The Ugly: - For such beautifully designed widgets/components, the actual app UI/UX feels like a major after-thought. - Settings are scattered and hidden away across pages and icon buttons. - The left nav panel is okay, but the rest of the layout with the content centered in the middle with various options on the right is very unintuitive. - What is the point of the "Usage" page, and why would I ever need to Change Order? - Why is the Usage page where you configure the popover components?

Nice tool, but too big overall.
