The most comprehensive Mac monitor to date. iStat Menus is a fully-equipped system data collector that lives in your menu bar and provides vital info about the key indicators. You get the stats on CPU load, memory load, disk usage/space, disk activity, temperature monitor, fan sensors, battery life and cycles, weather, and so much more. And, there’s a Dark Mode support. Of course, there is.
Fix loud fan noise problem
Spot the biggest CPU hogs
Track and optimize disk usage
Reduce excessive memory use
iStat Menus features
CPU & GPU
All you need to know to be sure everything’s alright: Mac CPU usage and overall activity. Quickly check on it without opening the app — the menu bar icon will show you the info. It’s real-time and you can view your Mac’s process monitor by individual cores or by all cores combined.
Memory
You can view memory stats in any form you prefer — as a pie chart or bar graph. Plus, you get a list of apps using the most memory, so you know which to quit when it gets tight.
Network
A realtime graph to keep on top of what’s being sent and received for all network connections, including a bandwidth breakdown for the top 5 apps.
Disk usage & activity
One of the main Mac performance monitors is naturally disk usage and general disk activity. Apart from general info on both HD and network drives, iStats gives you a variety of read and write indicators and S.M.A.R.T status monitoring.
Sensors
A realtime view of temperatures, hard drive temperatures (where supported), fans, voltages, current and power. Fan speeds can be controlled, with different rules when on battery power, if you’d like.
Date & time
Most of daily needed info in super detailed form: date, time, and an extensive weather for Macs module with temperature calendar, moon phases, wind speeds, dew points, and more. iStat Menus also has a world clock to show you not just the time, but sunset and sunrise times all across the globe.

LOVE THIS UTILITY. Been using it since, IDK, back when the USA wasn’t so…WTF? The granular customisation is what really brings me back, again and again. I wish it had some functionality similar to BARTENDER, where I could stack different modules. On Apple devices with a notch ((my 15” Air, for ex.), the menu bar icons do tend to proliferate, and, obv., space is at a premium. Maybe a rework could be considered, display-wise? Otherwise, don’t ever disappear. Your util is GOLD.

iStat Menus is one of the key essential apps I install on all of the Macs in my household. The best part is exporting and importing settings. It would have been even better to do iCloud syncing “presets”. If you’re struggling to use it with a notch when setting up lots of widgets, here’s what I do (albeit with a slight compromise explained at the end): I use condensed fonts and set my display resolution to one that “disables” the notch ie. 2056x1285. This allows you to fit way more items in the menu bar underneath the notch, at the expense of some screen real estate next to it. This isn’t technically a problem with iStat Menus though, this is literally an Apple problem. You can set up iStat Menus so it’s a single icon in the menubar with a dropdown of all info, if you don’t mind losing the glanceability of widgets. Other than that, Bjango continues to update the app to make it more intuitive, easier and faster to use. The only problem is that this isn’t built into macOS by default.
Un grand classique !

C’était un classique de ma barre de menu qui retrouve sa place. Toujours aussi efficace pour faire le monitoring… Merci Setapp pour la redécouverte !
