Since then, many people contributed pull requests, most of which have been incorporated. MenuMeters, created by Alex Harper, add statistics on CPU, storage, memory and network usage directly to your Mac OS Xs mens bar.Each type of meter is fully customizable and can be configured the way you want. I'm making here a minimal modification so that it runs as a faceless app, putting NSStatusItem's instead of NSMenuExtra's. The original version does not work on El Capitan and later, due to the fact that SystemUIServer doesn't load Menu Extras not signed by Apple any longer. It's a great utility originally developed at. If you'd like your version mentioned here, please tell me at the issues page. which has new features in the CPU meter, etc.There are also further forks of my version of MenuMeters, which implement more features. What is more, they are maintained actively. Which are all menubar monitors with more modern look and feel and more capability.

If you just want to use it, please go to or and download the binary. My fork of MenuMeters for El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur.
