Much like iOS 8 will show you which apps are draining your iPhone’s battery, iStat will break down CPU usage, network access, and disk activity for individual apps, and call out any energy or bandwidth hogs so you can deal with them appropriately. iStat takes full advantage of the color-coded compressed memory and memory pressure indicators that Apple introduced in Mavericks.īut where iStat 5 truly excels is in its handling of individual app performance. There is also a greater emphasis on memory usage. Dive into its menus and you’ll find an array of new performance statistics, including advanced multi-core CPU and GPU monitoring, improved battery tracking, and more control over network status. While it’s wonderful to look at, iStat 5’s improvements are more than skin deep. Wonder what’s slowing down your Mac? iStat Menus can tell you. The classic white background is still available, but once you see how vibrant the various graphs look using the black theme, you’ll have a hard time switching back. And if you’re running Yosemite (and its accompanying dark menu bar and Dock feature), iStat will blend right in. iStat’s wealth of information has been thoughtfully calibrated and organized, and all of your data is even easier to see at a glance. From the settings to the dropdown graphs, no pixel has been left unturned, and a modern, minimal elegance pervades every element. Whether you’re a longtime iStat fan or a first-time user, you’ll immediately be struck by its modern look.
