Weather

Quickly glance at current conditions in your menu bar, or dive into an incredibly detailed hourly forecast and weekly weather overview, covering low and high temperature, wind speed and direction, chance of rain, humidity, dew point, UV index, pressure, visibility and more. iStat Menus can show the weather based on your current location, or for almost any city in the world.

Notifications

iStat Menus can notify you of an incredibly wide range of events, based on CPU, GPU, memory, disks, network, sensors, battery, power and weather. This lets you be notified when your public IP has changed, if your internet connection is down, if CPU usage is above 60% for more than 10 seconds, or a near-infinite range of other options. It can even let you know the weather for the day, or remind you of daylight savings changes.

More colors and theme options

As well as being easier to theme, iStat Menus 6 introduces new ways to colour and style the menu bar icons, menu dropdowns, and graphs. If you’d prefer your menu dropdowns match macOS, we’ve also added support for light and dark vibrant menu dropdown backgrounds.

macOS 11 Big Sur support

iStat Menus 6.5 is a significant update with design refinements across the entire app, to ensure it feels at home in macOS Big Sur. It features menu bar icon improvements, rounder corners, and a new look for the main app.

CPU and GPU

Highly detailed CPU info, with current usage for individual cores, history graphs, load averages, uptime, CPU frequency, and a list of the apps using the most CPU. Plus, GPU memory and processor usage on supported Macs, and the active GPU can be shown in the menu bar.

Memory

Extensive memory stats covering usage, history, memory pressure, compressed memory, swap, and a list of the apps using the most memory.

Network

Keep on top of what’s being sent and received for all network connections with history graphs, current bandwidth usage, and a bandwidth breakdown for the top apps, as well as detailed connection info, bandwidth graphs, public and private IP addresses, and an internet connectivity indicator.

Disk usage and activity

See used space, free space, and disk activity in your menu bar. S.M.A.R.T. status monitoring, per app disk usage, and more detail for all your disks is only a click away.

Sensors

A realtime listing of the sensors in your Mac, including temperatures, hard drive temperatures (where supported), fans, CPU frequency, GPU frequency (Intel GPUs only), voltages, current and power. Fan speeds can be controlled, and even switched based on temperatures, active GPU and battery state.

Date and time

Highly customisable menu bar clocks, calendar with upcoming events, world clocks with detailed sun and moon info.

Battery and power

Detailed info on your battery’s current state and a highly configurable menu item that can change if you’re draining, charging, or completely charged. Plus, battery levels for AirPods, Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad and other devices.
