DESCRIPTION

MenuMeters is a set of CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools for Mac OS X. Although there are numerous other programs which do the same thing, none had quite the feature set I was looking for. Most were windows that sat in a corner or on the desktop, which are inevitably obscured by document windows on a PowerBook's small screen. Those monitors which used the menubar mostly used the NSStatusItem API, which has the annoying tendency to totally reorder my menubar on every login.

The MenuMeters monitors are true SystemUIServer plugins (also known as Menu Extras). This means they can be reordered using command-drag and remember their positions in the menubar across logins and restarts.

MenuMeters is open source freeware released under the GNU General Public License version 2.

ROAMING NOMAD  Very handy and useful. I use only the Network Meter to show my throughput speeds.

My only minor gripe was that I had to add a space to the speeds in the localizable.strings so my old eyes can read the outputs easier.

But overall, 5 stars all across the board!

CUCHULAINN  Excellent App. With every Mac I have purchased over the past few years, Menu Meters is one of the first "must have" apps I download.

I really appreciate the developer for providing this app and continuing to do so for free. Outstanding!

ANDREAS  My apologies to the developer that this board won't allow me to give a rating above 5.

Does anyone really use a Mac without at least the CPU 'thermometer' in the menubar?

MACNERD1984  Yep; I do. I have no interest in how hot the processor is running - Can't do much about it anyway, and I'll hear the fans kick in anyway. I use CPU Percentage and that's that. Anyway, I know when my MBP is running hot, because It scorches my genitalia as it sits on my lap; kind of like my own temperature sensor.

CORPSECORPS  Very cool, useful, and versatile gizmo. I was a wee bit panicked when it disappeared yesterday when i installed Snow Leopard. Was relieved to find a new version available.

CARLITTO  Thank you for updating this wonderful utility. Unfortunately in my iMac it always indicates 0 when showing used/free memory.

STEVE R  Like many others who have posted in the last 24 hours I realised how much I've come to depend on MenuMeters. Now I encourage everyone who has raved about the update to get on paypal and send a donation to show our thanks.
