• stats

  85 15,423 9.1 Swift

  macOS system monitor in your menu bar

  Stats is open source & free: https://github.com/exelban/stats

  Works on Apple Silicon with no issues. I used to pay for iStat Menus but Stats is totally fine for my needs, so I do not use iStat Menus anymore.

• bitbar

  15 16,669 0.0 Go

  Put the output from any script or program into your macOS Menu Bar (the BitBar reboot)

  Then it will create a menu bar entry titled "Hello" with a single element in its drop-down menu, which will open Hacker News when clicked. You place your program in a specific directory for xbar to run, and it can be configured to run at a given frequency, e.g. once a minute to report the results of an API call or some measurement from your system, etc. Up to you to build the menu bar app you want.

  Not sure why the downvotes, same here. I disabled mine in favour of sketchy bar [0]. I hide most things except for bandwidth and clock. Super handy.
