Did you look at the readme? It’s right there at the top dude.

#102Unfortunately worse and not as compact/configurable as the paid iStat menu option, and that's something the dev doesn't want to change...
Well it’s free so…
Re: Stats – macOS system monitor in your menu bar
#103Stats is great! The only issue I've had with it is each time it updates itself as it's unsigned the binary is flagged and can't be opened until you run xattr -rc /Applications/Stats.app on it.

#104Reminds of MenuMeters - really great at showing real-time metrics and various types of graphs with different refresh intervals. https://member.ipmu.jp/yuji.tachikawa/MenuMetersElCapitan/
Aww yeah, I’ve been rocking menu meters for almost a decade now. I can’t believe people get by without a bandwidth meter at least, so helpful for so many reasons
Should be built-in to the OS, bandwidth meter is way more important than battery % specially with modern MacBooks lasting over 10 hours.

> IMO it's essential to see cpu / mem / network consumption at all times Why?
At minimum, to just develop a sense of how the computer loads and de-loads as various services or programs are called
Not using any menubar stat programs currently, but have done so for exactly this reason in the past. Even if nothing is misbehaving, they’re helpful for keeping a pulse on your machine and for getting a feel for which programs are heavy on resources for no good reason.
It used to be that noise from hard drive activity and fans spinning up were a pretty good proxy for this, like how my iMac G5 would do its best impression of a jet engine whenever a flash ad banner appeared on screen. These days on M-series Macs though a random browser tab can be keeping a whole core pegged in the background and the only reason I’d notice is if I happened to touch the bottom of the laptop and notice it’s slightly warm.

This makes me cringe. No one talks like that
No-one you know, old person.
Using genZ/A words for sake of using them makes you unhinge and not genuine. And not being your authentic self is the least genz thing you can do
Also I am genz and calling someone old is rude

I've lost count of how many years I've owned a Bjango license. Amazing software.
One, two, three…Christ, 16 years here. This made me feel terrible. Thanks!
I think I paid for it a few times because it had been so long. I also got work to buy 12 licenses to monitor edit bays when they were overheating all the time. I could read the machines stats on an iPad!
Good times.

Yeah, it's really bad UX how icons simply don't show up if there's no room on macOS. There should at least be a spillover. Back in the day I paid for https://www.macbartender.com/ to get these features.
You can also use Ice[1], which does the same thing and is open source [1] https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice
Ice is great. Took some fiddling but I have been stoked on it.
Re: Stats – macOS system monitor in your menu bar
#109Looks nice. Any suggestions for a similar graphical tool for Linux?
If you're using Gnome, you could try the system-monitor-next extension[1]. The main thing to note when installing for the first time is that you'll also need to install a few system packages[2].

Huh? That doesn't happen to me. Mine is signed.
