MenuMeters For Mac

Keeping an eye on your Mac’s resources is highly recommended, especially if you are experiencing performance issues. MenuMeters is a Preferences Pane that allows you to visualize statistics about your CPU, disk, memory, and network usage.

The pane places 4 different menus in your status bar, one for each monitored resource. Since the menus are SystemUIServer plug-ins, you can rearrange them by using command drag actions, and the app will remember their positions between sessions.

MenuMeters comes with its own installer which makes the entire procedure extremely straightforward. However, you must specify if you want the preference pane installed only for the current user, or for all users defined on your Mac.

Of course, you must navigate to the MenuMeters pane to be able to enable and personalize the resources menus. However, after the initial set up, the information will be present in your status bar at all times, with extensive details just one click away.

MenuMeters allows you to activate up to 4 different menus, one for each resource that you want to monitor. The activation process is extremely simple: the MenuMeters main window is organized in 4 tabs, and each panel contains a check box for toggling the respective menu.

You get to personalize the way in which the data is displayed, the color palette, the update interval, the volumes that should be monitored, and much more. The preference pane design is fairly intuitive, and the included options are mostly self explanatory.

MenuMeters provides basic system monitoring tools and offers you the possibility to visualize statistical data about your CPU, disk, memory, and network usage. The best part is that you can decide which resource menus you need active, and arrange them in any way you like.
