About:
iStat Server acts as a backend data provider for the iStat Sensors iOS app, exposing detailed system metrics from a Mac or server over the local network. It collects and transmits real-time data including CPU load, memory usage, disk activity, network statistics, temperatures, and fan speeds. This enables users to monitor their machine's health remotely from an iPhone or iPad without requiring a direct connection.

Key Features:

Real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, disk, and network usage
Hardware sensor data including temperatures and fan speeds
Secure local network communication with the iStat Sensors iOS app
Support for multiple Macs and servers from a single iOS device

Use Cases:

Monitoring a headless Mac mini server from an iPad
Tracking thermal performance and resource usage during intensive tasks
Keeping an eye on a remote work machine's health while away from the desk

Alternatives:

NetSpot – More focused on Wi-Fi site surveys and signal analysis rather than comprehensive system monitoring.
LanScan – A network scanner for discovering devices, not for tracking individual machine performance metrics.
