About:
iStats Menus is a comprehensive system monitoring tool for macOS that provides real-time insights into your Mac's hardware and performance. It displays detailed information about CPU usage, memory, disk activity, network connections, and sensor readings directly in the menu bar. The app offers customizable menus and notifications to help users proactively manage system health and identify performance bottlenecks.
Key Features:
  • Real-time CPU, memory, and disk monitoring in the menu bar
  • Detailed hardware sensor data (temperature, fan speeds, battery health)
  • Network activity monitoring with bandwidth usage tracking
  • Customizable notifications and alerts for system events
  • Historical graphs and performance history
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring system performance and resource usage during intensive tasks
  • Troubleshooting Mac overheating issues or fan noise problems

Alternatives:
  • Stats – Free, open-source alternative with similar core monitoring features but fewer advanced customization options
  • Activity Monitor – Built-in macOS tool that provides basic system monitoring but lacks menu bar integration and detailed sensor data
  • iStatistica – Alternative with similar monitoring capabilities but different UI design and pricing model
