SystemLoad is a lightweight system monitor utility for macOS that displays real-time CPU load, memory usage, swap space, and system uptime in the menu bar. It provides at-a-glance visibility into key system performance metrics without requiring a full Activity Monitor window. The app is particularly popular with power users and system administrators who want to keep a continuous eye on their Mac's resource consumption while working on other tasks. SystemLoad has been actively maintained by Bresink for many years and supports modern versions of macOS.
