About Airstats
AirStats
An ultra lightweight macOS system monitor.
AirStats is a system monitor for the Mac menu bar. It reads CPU, memory, GPU, network, disk, battery, temperature, process and host statistics from the kernel and shows them in three places: the menu bar itself, a panel that drops down when you click the status item, and a desktop widget you can leave on screen.
It is built to be genuinely light. A menu bar monitor runs all day, every day, so AirStats holds a few megabytes and a fraction of a percent of one core rather than the tens of megabytes its peers take. It has no Dock icon, and reads the system through Mach, IOKit, sysctl and CoreWLAN.
Requirements
- macOS 14 or later
- Apple silicon
Source layout
AirStatKit never imports SwiftUI or AppKit, which is what lets the tests and the probe run in a windowless process.
