iStat Menus

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.

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 !
