iStat Menus Status
iStat Menus Status is a system-monitoring utility for macOS that displays real-time information about your Mac directly in the menu bar. It provides eight menu extras covering CPU usage (with multi-core display modes), memory and swap activity, disk usage and I/O, network bandwidth monitoring, temperature sensors, fan speeds, Bluetooth status and device battery levels, and date/time with world clock support. The app is popular with power users, developers and system administrators who want at-a-glance visibility into system performance and resource usage without opening a separate window.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSearch results confirm iStat Menus is actively developed by Bjango, with a comprehensive feature set and regular updates. However, we could not find explicit confirmation of a native Apple Silicon build in the available results. Given that Bjango is an established Mac developer and iStat Menus is a popular, actively maintained utility (the MacUpdate listing shows ongoing user engagement), it is likely that a native build either already exists or is in development. Contact Bjango directly via their website to confirm the current architecture and ask about Apple Silicon support and a timeline for any remaining Intel-only components, especially as the Rosetta 2 removal deadline approaches in September 2028. In the meantime, the Intel build continues to run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs, so your monitoring will function, albeit with slightly higher resource overhead than a native build would use.
