Stats for Mac is the system monitoring tool that puts everything you actually want to know about your Mac’s performance right in the menu bar where you can see it at a glance without opening Activity Monitor every time something feels slow or your fan starts spinning up. Version 3.0.11 brings a more refined and capable,
experience for anyone who likes having real time visibility into CPU, memory, network, and battery usage as part of their normal working environment. I keep it running because knowing what my Mac is actually doing at any moment makes troubleshooting and performance decisions genuinely informed rather than guesswork.
Stats Overview
Stats for Mac is a free and open source menu bar system monitor that displays real time information about your Mac’s CPU usage, memory pressure, disk activity, network throughput, GPU load, battery health, and more through a highly customizable set of menu bar widgets that you configure to show exactly what matters to your workflow.
It is lightweight enough that the monitoring itself never becomes a meaningful part of what it’s measuring and the information it surfaces is detailed enough to be genuinely useful rather than decorative. Stats for Mac is the system monitor that stays out of your way and tells you what you need to know.

Why Use Stats for Mac?
What makes Stats for Mac the go to menu bar monitor for so many Mac users is how much information it surfaces without making your menu bar feel cluttered or your Mac feel burdened by the monitoring itself. You can configure exactly which metrics matter to your workflow, choose between compact and detailed display styles for each widget,
and get a genuinely useful picture of what your system is doing at any moment without opening a separate application. The battery health display is particularly valuable for MacBook users who want to keep an eye on cycle count and capacity over time and the network throughput display is the quickest way to diagnose whether a slow experience is coming from your connection or your local hardware.
