Mac

CPU, memory, GPU, available storage, network, and Thermal Status in your menu bar. Private, lightweight, and fully offline. Better Resource Monitor puts real-time system stats in your macOS menu bar—CPU, memory, GPU, available storage, network, and macOS Thermal Status—without asking for your admin password, installing a privileged helper, or touching private system APIs. Most system monitors require root access to read sensors. Better Resource Monitor uses only public macOS APIs. It runs fully sandboxed, so nothing runs at the root level on your machine. Features: • CPU, memory, GPU, available storage, network, and Thermal Status in the menu bar • Low-storage warning only when less than 10 GB remains • Live icons updated every second • Toggle individual monitors on or off • Start at login support • Less than 0.1% CPU impact • Around 15 MB memory footprint • 100% offline. No telemetry, no analytics, no network requests • Under 7 MB install size

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Thermal Status now shows your Mac’s current thermal condition, with localized Nominal, Fair, Serious, Critical, and Unavailable states. • Storage now shows available space instead of used percentage, with clear formatting for small and very large disks. • Low-storage warnings now appear only when less than 10 GB remains. • Improved tray reliability during display sleep and wake, plus cleaner spacing and long-value handling. • Refined menu labels and localized wording.
