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.

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?

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.

HEYMINI  I was gutted when the last version of Menu Meters didnt work with 10.6 'Snow Leopard'

I just love the way that little throughput monitor lets me know what my network connection is doing. Full marks to the developer for reworking this beautiful little programme so quickly.
