What is Stats?
Stats is a free, open-source system monitor that lives in your Mac menu bar. It shows CPU, GPU, memory, disk, network, battery and sensor readings in small widgets you can arrange however you like, so you can spot the app slowing your machine down without opening Activity Monitor.
Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.
Pros: what Stats does well

- Every widget can be toggled and styled

Cons: where it falls short
- Mac only
- Many widgets can crowd a small menu bar
Who Stats is for

Who can skip it
