StatusRunner - Menu Bar Stats
Animated System Monitor
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
A tiny runner races in your menu bar at the speed of your CPU. Free live dashboard for CPU, RAM, network & battery — no subscription, no tracking, just glanceable fun.
Is your Mac working hard — or hardly working? One glance at your menu bar tells you.
StatusRunner puts a tiny animated runner in your menu bar that keeps perfect pace with your system: sprinting when the CPU is slammed, jogging under load, idling when your Mac is coasting. It's the fun, featherweight alternative to keeping Activity Monitor or a task manager open all day.
Click the runner for a full live dashboard — CPU, memory, disk, battery, and network with real-time sparkline graphs. Right-click for settings. No Dock icon, no window clutter.
FREE FOREVER — A COMPLETE APP, NOT A TRIAL
• 4 original runners, including the flagship Cheetah
• Live dashboard: CPU, memory, disk, battery & network throughput with real-time graphs
• Menu bar readouts: a mini graph plus CPU / memory / network beside your runner
• Custom metrics: watch your own JSON files or HTTP endpoints
• Runner speed driven by CPU, memory, or network
• Launch at login, battery-friendly by default
GO PRO — PAY ONCE, KEEP IT FOREVER (NO SUBSCRIPTION)
• All 100 original runners across six styles: Pixel Pets, Wildlife, Sky & Sea, Arcade & Mythic, Full Throttle, and Cozy & Abstract
• Top processes by CPU, right in the dashboard — see what's spinning your fans without opening Activity Monitor
• Load tinting: your runner shifts teal → amber → red as pressure climbs
• Drive the runner from any custom metric, not just CPU
• Custom accent colors and import your own PNG runners
One purchase covers every Mac you own.
BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS & POWER USERS
Watch a build queue, a dev server's health endpoint, an API value — anything you can reach over HTTP or a JSON file, with dot-path extraction and one-click presets. Real MB/s network numbers, a 1-second refresh option, and severity tinting for at-a-glance triage.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No tracking, no analytics, no account, no ads. Every measurement is read on your Mac, shown to you, and never transmitted. Fully sandboxed; the app only reads files you explicitly choose.
SO LIGHT YOU'LL FORGET IT'S RUNNING
Frame-rate caps, timer coalescing, throttling on battery, and a full stop when your display sleeps keep StatusRunner to a fraction of a percent of CPU.
Your Mac is always telling a story. Put someone in the menu bar who runs it.
