System Monitor is a simple and menu bar OS X application, designed to inform you unobtrusively about the activity of your Mac.
You can retrieve up-to-date technical data any time, like process load, main memory consumption, storage space, disk activity, communication on network interfaces, etc.
By positioning the app in the menu bar, as least screen real estate as possible will be wasted. The System Monitor app monitors your system continuously and is readily available when you need it.
NOTE: System Monitor can only be purchased via the Mac App Store (the buy link redirects you to its App Store page). To purchase/download applications via the App Store an Apple account is required.
