MenuBar Stats is a comprehensive system monitoring tool that resides in the macOS menu bar. It provides real-time visibility into CPU, memory, disk, and network usage, along with specialized plugins for tracking fan speeds and hardware temperatures. Its primary value is offering detailed system insights without the overhead of a full-size monitoring application.
