Product Description:

MenuMeters is a set of CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools for MacOS X. Although there are numerous other programs which do the same thing, none had quite the feature set I was looking for. Most were windows that sat in a corner or on the desktop, which are inevitably obscured by document windows on a PowerBook's small screen. Those monitors which used the menubar mostly used the NSStatusItem API, which has the annoying tendency to totally reorder my menubar on every login.
The MenuMeters monitors are true SystemUIServer plugins (also known as Menu Extras). This means they can be reordered using command-drag and remember their positions in the menubar across logins and restarts.
MenuMeters is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

What's new in this version:

  • Allow selection of large (menubar clock, 14pt), medium (11pt), or small (split user/system load 9pt) text font sizes for the percentage display in the CPU meter.
  • Added preference to CPU meter to allow multiprocessor machines to use a single display showing average of all processors.
  • [FEATURE] Accepted Ben Jansen's patch to place throughput totals in the net meter in GB/MB/KB totals, not just bytes.
  • [FEATURE] Added per interface throughput totals to the net meter menu, enabling you to see throughput on more than just the primary interface.
  • [FEATURE] Added limited support for live menu updated in the net meter, specifically throughput and interface totals are now updated. The remaining data cannot be live updated both for performance reasons and because the menu might change length (see prior notes in the 0.6 changelog).
  • [FEATURE] Added page fault and copy-on-write info to the Memory meter.
  • [FEATURE] Added "Open Console" to the CPU menu.
  • [FEATURE] Added more drive info (device name, file system type) to the disk menu.
  • [BUG] Workaround what looks to be an Apple bug when reading outbound (upload) traffic on PPPoE interface. This appears to have been the cause of folks reporting "doubled" throughput totals. Fixed by using the underlying Ethernet interface directly instead of the pppconfd values. Thanks to Roberto Tremonti for the report and helping debug.
  • [BUG] Workaround issue on some machines where the first MenuMeter from the right (first loaded) would fail because [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]] returned the SystemUIServer bundle instead of the menu extra. Thanks to Cedric Honegger and Tim Brown for their assistance.
  • [BUG] Fix overflow problems for network stats in the net meters. Thanks to Ben Jansen for the report.
  • [BUG] Fix unnecessary rewrite of pref file when no data has changed.
  • [BUG] Make localization of disk icon set names easier.
  • [BUG/WORKAROUND] Document conflict between CPU.menu (from Apple CHUD tools) and MenuCracker. Check the Known Issues section of the ReadMe for details. Thanks to David Wood for his assistance.
  • [LOCALE] Japanese localization added, thanks to "(@_@)yooo".

MenuMeters CommentaryYay! - Version: 1.4b4, 11/26/2009 09:40AM PST

It's hard to overestimate how useful this utility is, and the developer has responded quickly and surely with every curve ball Apple has thrown at him, this time getting it all to work in 10.6.2 and in my new iMac.

MenuMeters ReviewBack working in SL - Version: 1.4b4, 11/16/2009 12:31PM PST

Oh thank goodness this is back working! I thought since it wasn't updated previously for such a long time it would not be updated, but here we are! After 10.6 broke it, it is now working perfectly - I'm only interested in the Network display!

Thank you!

MenuMeters Troubleshooting ReportNo joy in Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on new 2.53 GHz Mac Mini... - Version: 1.4b3, 11/5/2009 02:47PM PST

This is a must-have utility! I've grown very fond of MenuMeters over the years. I would gladly pay a reasonable shareware fee for software of this high caliber.

I had no problem with MenuMeters 1.3 on my father's Core2Duo MacBook Pro under OS 10.6.1, but version 1.4b3 won't launch on my brand new 2.53 GHz Mac Mini and 10.6.1. Version 1.3 was working perfectly on my PowerBook before I migrated the account to the new Mini; however following migration 1.3 gave a message that it's not compatible with Intel CPUs. I'ill gladly share log files if the developer wants those.
