iStats X
iStats X is a macOS system monitoring and performance utility that displays real-time information about CPU usage, memory, disk activity, network bandwidth, temperature sensors, and battery status. It typically appears as a menu-bar widget or floating dashboard, allowing users to quickly check system health without opening Activity Monitor or other larger system tools. The app is designed for power users, system administrators, and anyone who wants persistent visibility into their Mac's resource usage and hardware status.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about iStats X or its native Apple Silicon support status in our search results. The bundle ID com.monitor.ikong suggests this is an independently developed system monitor rather than a major vendor product, which means public information may be limited. To determine whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned, we recommend contacting the developer directly through their website or support channel and asking whether the app has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon Macs. If the developer is no longer active or does not respond, note that the Intel build will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027). You may want to begin exploring alternatives such as Activity Monitor (built into macOS), iStat Menus (a well-maintained commercial monitor with confirmed native support), or Macs Fan Control (free, natively updated) so you have options if iStats X remains Intel-only.
