We are here to help you with any questions or issues regarding MenuMeter.

About This App

MenuMeter is a comprehensive system monitoring tool that lives in your macOS menu bar. It provides real-time insights into your Mac's performance, helping you keep an eye on system resources at a glance.

• CPU Monitoring - View real-time CPU usage per core, overall load, and temperature readings.
• Memory Tracking - Monitor memory pressure, used vs. available RAM, and swap file usage.
• Disk & Network - Track disk space usage, read/write activity, and network traffic in real time.
• Customizable Display - Choose which metrics to show in the menu bar and how they are displayed (text, graph, or icon).

Permissions & Privacy

Required Permissions:

• System Monitoring - Requires access to system statistics (CPU, memory, disk, network) which macOS restricts for security reasons.

Privacy Commitment: All system data is read and displayed locally. No system information is ever collected, logged, or transmitted to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does MenuMeter monitor? - CPU usage and temperature, memory usage, disk space, network traffic, and battery status.
• How do I customize the display? - Click the menu bar icon and navigate to settings to choose which metrics to display.
• Does MenuMeter affect performance? - MenuMeter is designed to be lightweight and uses minimal system resources.
• Can I hide specific metrics? - Yes, you can enable or disable each metric individually in the preferences panel.
• How do I uninstall MenuMeter? - Quit the app and delete it from your Applications folder. No additional cleanup is needed.
• The app won't launch? - Ensure your Mac meets the minimum requirements: macOS 14.0 or later.

Troubleshooting

• Metrics not updating - Try restarting MenuMeter. If the issue persists, check if another monitoring app is conflicting.
• High CPU usage by MenuMeter itself - Reduce the update frequency in settings. Lower refresh rates reduce CPU impact.
• Temperature readings unavailable - Some Mac models do not expose temperature sensors. This is a hardware limitation.
• Menu bar text overlapping - Adjust the display format in settings, or reduce the number of visible metrics.
