iStat Mini
iStat Mini is a lightweight system monitoring utility for macOS that displays real-time statistics about your Mac's CPU, memory, disk usage, network activity, temperature and battery status. It typically runs as a menu bar app or widget, allowing users to glance at system health without opening a full monitoring dashboard. It is popular with power users, developers and anyone who wants to keep tabs on their Mac's performance and thermal state at a glance.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about whether iStat Mini ships a native Apple Silicon build. The best way to determine its status is to contact Bjango (the developer) directly or check the app's official website to ask whether a native build is available or planned. If you are running iStat Mini on an Intel-only version under Rosetta 2, you have roughly two years before Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point the app will stop launching entirely if no native version exists. As alternatives with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider Activity Monitor (built into macOS and shows real-time CPU, memory and disk activity), Macs Fan Control (free, includes thermal monitoring), or Reeder (a general-purpose system monitor available on the Mac App Store). If you cannot find a satisfactory replacement and iStat Mini remains Intel-only, you should begin exploring these alternatives now so you are prepared when the deadline arrives.
