Mac OS status monitoring
Mac OS status monitoring
Hello! I'm looking for apps that display sensor statistics on a MacBook, similar to HWMonitor in Windows. I've heard of ISTAT and Monit, but I'm curious if others use the same tools. Could anyone recommend something else?
You're enjoying the iSTAT menus—it's a paid tool, but it performs exceptionally well, has a clean design, and offers many customization options for display and functionality.

For remote system monitoring, consider Pulseway. https://www.pulseway.com Alternatively, iStats offers a good option.
SMCFanControl helps track sensors and... manage the fans. It's completely free. I used it before to run the fans at full speed on my old boilers to prevent overheating. Note: My memory might be off—this tool doesn't monitor all parameters, just temperature and fan speed.
Macs Fan Control lets you view at least one diode in your menu bar. You can tweak your fans. It's free. A high-resolution screenshot of the main menu bar (your eye cancer isn't my fault).
