MenuMeters for Mac

User Reviews

• Cnet download failed.

  hfdratchMay 16, 2014

  Pros

  I've been using MenuMeters for years without problems. When I get 1.7 to download I have no doubt it will work as well as all the previous versions.

  Cons

  I will have to go to the developers website for this new version.

• Shows usage without excessive footprint

  khflottorpApril 28, 2013

  Pros

  Shows summary - also network usage. Does what it claims to do.

  Cons

  ... Please: It is small and simple and can be made a monster and gorgeous with fancy graphs, numerous features, bangs and whistles with tons of CPU consumption - but his is simple, light.

  Summary

  Should be standard with all MacOS laptops - shows what's going on. Keep it this way.

• Indispensable

  Steve DavidsonFebruary 17, 2013

  Pros

  At a glance, shows me exactly what the computer is doing (memory, drives, network, and CPU -- in whatever order you specify). Mouse-down on a one of its menus, and you get more detailed info, and controls Additional configuration options available from System Preferences

  Cons

  There are no Cons.

  Summary

  This is the first thing that I install on a new computer. The author ably fills a hole left by Apple. The only wish-list item I would have for it is a "Check for Updates" option. However because this is such stable software, there have been very few updates needed.

• Works well with a small footprint

  Steve DavidsonNovember 25, 2011

  Pros

  Quick-glance summary of what is happening, and by mousing down on the menu items, you get all the detail you could want.

  Cons

  None. Well, maybe one: I wish it had an auto- or alert-on- update feature. It's a small issue which I don't feel counts against this outstanding product.

• Menu Meters works as it always has: perfectly.

  hfdratchJuly 17, 2011

  Pros

  Includes the system monitors most needed in user-chosen formats & colors which sit (as colorfully as you wish) in the menu-bar and in System Preferences.

  Cons

  Haven't found any yet.

  Summary

  This app reminds me of driving at night in a car with plenty of gauges. Instead of hoping all is well under the hood; there are those comforting numbers, arrows & icons letting you in on what is going on behind the scenes. I've been using MenuMeters since my 1st computer, a G3 iBook. It still works fine on that and on my MacBook Pro both of which could use replacing.

• Great way to keep track of processor and disk activity.

  mikego61July 16, 2011

  Pros

  Instant ability to watch processor activity and disk i/o in the menubar. It is also a quick way to find your current IP number and connection method.

  Cons

  Can't think of any

  Summary

  This is a very useful menubar app which provides lots of useful information in a very small space. I have used and recommended it to many people for a number of years.
