CPULed
CPULed is a lightweight macOS utility that displays real-time CPU usage information directly in the menu bar. The app provides a simple visual indicator of processor activity, allowing users to quickly monitor system performance without opening Activity Monitor or other system tools. It's particularly useful for developers, system administrators, and power users who need to keep an eye on CPU loads while working on other tasks. The app shows CPU usage as a percentage and typically updates in real-time to reflect current system performance.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the available information, CPULed appears to be a discontinued or abandoned utility, as version 1.3 is quite old and no recent updates or Apple Silicon compatibility information could be found. For monitoring CPU usage in the menu bar on Apple Silicon Macs, I recommend switching to iStat Menus, which is actively maintained and offers native Apple Silicon support. iStat Menus provides comprehensive system monitoring including CPU usage, memory, disk activity, and network stats, all displayed in customizable menu bar widgets. While it's a paid app (unlike the likely free CPULed), it offers much more functionality and reliable ongoing support.
