What is Stats?
Stats is a free, open-source system monitor that lives in the macOS menu bar. Its nine modules cover CPU, GPU, RAM, disk, network, sensors, battery, Bluetooth devices and a clock, and each can be shown in one of 13 widget styles such as charts, numbers or gauges. It runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 12 or newer and is maintained by a solo developer.
Stats is free to use. See every plan
Good for
- Mac users who want system readings in the menu bar without buying a license
- People who want to inspect or modify the source code of their system monitor

Worth knowing
- macOS only. It supports macOS 12 Monterey and newer, and beta versions of macOS are not supported.
- Fan control is in legacy mode and receives no updates or fixes.
- The Sensors and Bluetooth modules are the least efficient; the developer says disabling them can cut the app's CPU use by up to 50% in some cases.
- It is maintained by a solo developer, and the FAQ points users with problems to the project's GitHub issues.
