Menu bar monitor for Mac

Your Mac’s vitals.
Right in the menu bar.

Gaugebar shows live CPU, memory, network and disk use as plain text next to the clock, so you see what your Mac is doing without opening anything.

Four items

Everything at a glance.

CPU, memory, network and disk each get their own item in the menu bar, so you can keep the ones you care about. They update every 1, 2 or 5 seconds, as you choose, and never change width, so nothing next to them jumps around.

CPU 12%

CPU

How busy the processor is, across all its cores.

RAM 14.2/36GB

Memory

Memory in use out of what’s installed, counted the way Activity Monitor counts it.

Network

Download and upload, per second, over Wi-Fi and Ethernet.

R12MB W3.0MB

Disk

Read and write, per second, on the disk your Mac started up from.

Light by design

A monitor that stays out of the way.

No Dock icon, no windows

Just text in the menu bar. Click any item to choose what shows, how often it updates and whether Gaugebar opens at login.

Almost no cost of its own

Gaugebar reads counters macOS already keeps. It runs no other processes, so measuring your Mac doesn’t slow it down.

Nothing leaves your Mac

No account, no analytics, no ads. Gaugebar makes no network connections and collects no data.
