MenuMeters




MenuMeters is an essential hardware monitoring tool that installs into the top menu bar and provides essential system utilization information. It is simple yet versatile enough to please most users out there. One thing we wish MenuMeters had was the ability to display the amount of hard drive space remaining and in use. However, for advanced users, there is a more comprehensive and full featured alternative available called iStat Menus which can be purchased for $16 US dollars and in case you are wondering - is totally worth it.
