my fork of MenuMeters by http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/

MenuMeters

My fork of MenuMeters for El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur.

Usage:

If you just want to use it, please go to http://member.ipmu.jp/yuji.tachikawa/MenuMetersElCapitan/ or https://github.com/yujitach/MenuMeters/releases and download the binary. The detailed installation instruction is given in the former.

Other versions & related open source softwares:

If you run sufficiently new mac OS, try one of

• https://github.com/exelban/stats
• https://iglance.github.io
• https://github.com/gao-sun/eul

which are all menubar monitors with more modern look and feel and more capability. What is more, they are maintained actively. They are heavily recommended.

There are also further forks of my version of MenuMeters, which implement more features. You might want to try them out:

• https://github.com/emcrisostomo/MenuMeters which has DMG installers
• https://gitlab.com/axet/MenuMeters which has new features in the CPU meter, etc.

If you'd like your version mentioned here, please tell me at the issues page.

Background:

It's a great utility originally developed at http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/ . The original version does not work on El Capitan and later, due to the fact that SystemUIServer doesn't load Menu Extras not signed by Apple any longer.

I'm making here a minimal modification so that it runs as a faceless app, putting NSStatusItem's instead of NSMenuExtra's. Since then, many people contributed pull requests, most of which have been incorporated.

More recently, starting from Catalina, MenuMeters was changed from a preference pane within System Preferences to an independent app. This is due to an increasing amount of security features imposed by Apple on preference panes running within System Preferences, which made it too cumbersome to develop MenuMeters as a preference pane.

To hack:

Clone the git repo, open MenuMeters.xcodeproj, and build the target MenuMeters. This will create an independent app which runs outside of System Preferences.

Bug in the CPU meter

I've got the following message by email:

On a 12-core Mac Pro, if I turn off “show average for multiple processors as a single display”, the only display option that will display anything is thermometer. I would like to display graph, but if any of the other options are chosen, nothing is displayed.

Sierra: Command-dragging works

As explained elsewhere, as of Sierra 10.12, macOS supports command-dragging 3rd party menu items (NSStatusItems), including this lovely fork.

Considering the existence of MenuCracker was for precisely this purpose, it's nice to see support officially finally land after all these years.

@yujitach Happy to send a PR to update the read me if you'd like -- please just point me in the right direction.

http://member.ipmu.jp/yuji.tachikawa/MenuMetersElCapitan/ is not accessible

Is the server down?

⌘-dragging does work

http://member.ipmu.jp/yuji.tachikawa/MenuMetersElCapitan/ says:

One good thing about the former is that you can rearrange them by ⌘-dragging the menu items. I have no idea why ⌘-dragging is not provided for the latter by the system.

Just tried this on 10.12.4. ⌘-dragging reorders NSMenuExtras and NSStatusItems as desired, and the ordering persists across logout.

How to uninstall?

Long time Snow Leopard user of Menu Meters who just bought a new MacBook. Thanks for updating this for El Capitan. I've just installed it and it works fine - I did try the original installer a few days ago and yes, completely incompatible. I easily removed it using the installer (but I could have removed it manually instead in Library>PreferencePanes). I cannot find how to remove your version nor can I find its location.

I have an enhancement request, is it possible to remove the CPU hit for monitoring options not needed? I know this is minor, but over sometimes several days without access to power, the battery life hit can be significant. Perhaps with the same checkbox used to toggle display. I played with extending the update intervals on unused items to no effect. Playing with intervals revealed a CPU use with a minimum of around 2% as measured by the activity monitor that I could not drop further.

Thanks!

How to merge the graph and percentage indicators

Is there a way to show the graph and percentage indicators as a single icon.

Not reusing Image buffers

I was playing with dtrace on my system and saw regular mmap calls from MenuMeters and went looking into it.

It seems that the NSImage used to draw an update is always created new.

see: https://github.com/yujitach/MenuMeters/blob/master/MenuExtras/MenuMeterCPU/MenuMeterCPUExtra.m#L221

	// Image to render into (and return to view)
	NSImage *currentImage = [[NSImage alloc] initWithSize:NSMakeSize((float)menuWidth,

though I'm not a objC programmer.

I think we could invest the extra effort to reduce the resource usage to lower the resource impact of MenuMeters even more by using some sort of double buffering, or reusing the previous NSImage instance.

dtrace -n 'syscall::mmap:entry /pid==283/ { @[ustack()] = count(); } syscall::munmap:entry /pid==283/ {@[ustack()] = count();}'
dtrace: description 'syscall::mmap:entry ' matched 2 probes

Darkmode reversion errors

When a user switches to Dark Mode, textual elements render properly (switching from dark to light colors).

When a user switches from DarkMode, textual elements remain light colors, rendering them invisible.

I've attached a gif of the issue (note - the gif loops, so it makes it look like the text eventually renders - but it does not).

OSX Sierra

Just for info, your version of menu meters is working on my OSX Sierra Hackintosh. However one minor glitch, my quad core cpu is showing as an 8 core cpu.

WindowServer (resource leaks?)

When MenuMeters is left running over several days, I notice that WindowServer starts taking up more and more CPU load, to the extent where my Mac becomes extremely slow.

Going into the preference pane and toggling each display immediately releases whatever resources are tied up, with visible results in Activity Monitor.

This is happening in OS X Sierra 10.12.1. It might not be immediately noticeable in modern machines, but on a six-year-old Mac mini it effectively cripples the machine in two days of uptime.

10.13 beta - non functional

Hello,

The preference pane is there in system preferences. When clicking on let's say "Display Network Menu Meter" - about 10 seconds later a popup happens:

"Menu Extra Could Not Load"
For instructions on enabling third-party menu extras please see the documentation.

console.log says default

21:02:22.917911 -0400	SystemUIServer	invalid menu extra: /Library/PreferencePanes/MenuMeters.prefPane/Contents/Resources/MenuCracker.menu

default 21:02:22.918020 -0400 SystemUIServer unable to load menu extra: /Library/PreferencePanes/MenuMeters.prefPane/Contents/Resources/MenuCracker.menu

Hi there,

Thanks for your work on this. I found an issue with Public Beta 4 that didn't occur earlier. Removing a prefpane works fine, but adding it back in creates the following exception:

Feature request: show top X processes for network/memory usages

Would it be easy to add process information to the menus?

• network show top X processes using network (strip output from nettop command)
• cpu show top X processes using CPU (strip output from top command)
• memory show top X processes using memory (top command output again)
• disk show top X processes actively reading/writing to disk?

Feature Request: Customize menubar font style

Update Interval seems to be Ignored

I'm using the Memory Menu Meter and have the update interval set to 10 seconds. However it doesn't seem to be respected. The menu seems to get updated every second.

Upon installing the pref pane: Could not load MenuMeters preference pane.

Feature request: display memory pressure

I just tried a different app for displaying cpu and memory information in the menubar and it had an option to show the current memory pressure (as in Activity Monitor) instead of the actual used/free memory. I really liked that, would it be possible to implement this in MenuMeters?

Fails on Yosemite

Perhaps this is to be expected, but I didn't notice a warning: I tried to install this version on Yosemite, but the SysPref fails to open. The following is logged to Console.app:

Oct 5 13:47:06 xxx.rrz.uni-koeln.de System Preferences[81876]: Failed to connect (memPagerateColor) outlet from (MenuMetersPref) to (NSColorWell): missing setter or instance variable

The prefPane inside the 1.9.4 download zip reports it is version 1.9.3
http://member.ipmu.jp/yuji.tachikawa/MenuMetersElCapitan/zips/MenuMeters_1.9.4.zip

Yosemite basically OK

I didn't do any real testing, but I did want to mention that it does load and seems to work well in a minute's checking under OS X 10.10.5

Load average(s) indicator

I'd be very interested in having a menu meter that displays the load average(s) for the system. Would that be a difficult feature to add to MenuMeters?

Posting the releases

Would you mind posting the releases here (in the release section of your GitHub repo)? It will give your release more legitimacy if the binaries are served here rather than on your personal website. Your release is for now the de facto standard and the main release, so it merits a legit hosting, and inclusion in package managers such as homebrew cask.

It does not work

It does not work. The Preference Pane is shown as usual but there is nothing in Menu Bar. I've been looking for a explanation for this behavior and I've found that the App in "... Contents/Resources/MenuMeters App" has a forbidden in her icon. I've uploaded an image to illustrate this. It seems the App is not compatible. What a weird!

Bug in Network "Display this interface"

Having several network connections like ethernet, Wifi, etc. my primary interface if the wrong one. Selecting from the menu "Display this interface" seems to do nothing for the network menu item.

Server 5.0.4

MenuMeters 1.9.1 seems to interfere with OS X Server 5 based Time Machine Service causing

• when run on server (OS X El Capitan 10.11.1 / Sever 5.0.4): making client time machine backups VERY slow.
• when run on clients (OS X El Capitan 10.11.1 & 10.11.1 beta (15b38b) ): same.
• when run on server and clients (OS X El Capitan / Server 5.0.4) : near to impossible to perform.

note: local time machine backups (e.g. on an external usb-HD) are not affected.

Alignment of texts

I was asked, by an email, to fix a minor issue on the alignment of numerals inside the menu bar.

I don't know if I'd like to fix it right now, but let me keep the info publicly here.

meters appear several times

I have now 4 times each menubar display for each item I enable.
How do I get back to one?
Might be upgrade leftovers but dont know where to fix this.

Feature Request: Show CPU Temperature in CPU menu

I noticed that the CPU temperature is part of the CPU usage bar graph, but I thought it would be nice to include it in the CPU dropdown menu where it shows Threads/Load Average, etc.

Thank you!

Thanks for porting this!

OS X 10.11.1 claims prefPane is damaged

The resulting prefPane cannot be installed on OS X 10.11.1
Double-clicking the prefPane will result in error:
"'MenuMeters.prefPane' is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash."

I have re-downloaded the zip archive and retried, to no avail.
Please verify compatibility with OS X 10.11.1 and advise.

Setting colors for disk visuals

Hi, I'm just curious if there was a particular reason for not being able to set the colors for disk related visuals. Every other type of visual allows setting of color so it just seems a bit odd so I'm guessing there is a reason but I couldn't find any other issues relating to this. Not requesting a feature here. This is just an enquiry.

Unable to open Preference Pane on OS X 10.11.4

Having updated to the latest OS X on my MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011), the menu meters still show as they were configured before the update, but I can no longer access the preference pane to make any changes. Clicking on the icon does not do anything. Reinstalling the preference pane does not do anything either.

Command-Drag for Re-ordering of the icons isn't working.

I am able to drag and re-order other system icons in menu bar like date, power status, wifi, volume etc. but not the menumeter icons.

Files copy slows down when "Disc Activity Menu Meter" enabled

Hi there!

I definitely noticed files copy slowdown when "Display Disc Activity Menu Meter" is "on". Was under copy of 8GB file from my internal SSD to external USB Flash Drive. When I disabled "Disc Activity", copy speed returned back to normal (was near 100 times slower). When enabled -- slowed down again. My settings attached (update interval: 2 sec.). Maybe happens only with USB Flash Drives.

If you have time, you can check this.

Restart resets preferences

I've edited my preferences to only show the Disk and CPU usage charts, and to show multiple processors as multiple charts. Each time that I restart my computer, these settings revert to default.

Running OS X 10.11.6 and MenuMeters port 1.9.2

Memory Pressure doesn't seem to match what Activity Monitor shows

@geigi Thank you for the contribution of the memory pressure stats. I should have tested it earlier when it was still an open PR but since Yuji made the new binary public today I gave it a go. On my system (Mac Mini with 16GB RAM, Sierra 10.12.3) the pressure bar in MenuMeters doesn't seem to align with the values in Activity Monitor.

For example, see the screenshot below, where Activity Monitor shows pressure at around 45% but the Menubar appears to be around 25%

I then proceeded to launch as many apps as possible to try to increase the pressure, and while Activity Monitor's graph steadily increased, the MenuMeter seemed to stay stagnant. I had my update value at 10seconds (default)

Any idea why that might be?

Memory pressure usage history graph

When you select usage history graph, the memory pressure box gets grayed out. Would be nice to have that work.

Reset Traffic values for Network indicator

It would be nice to have ability reset traffic usage values w/o restart mac.

Could not load MenuMeters preference pane.

Thank's for your work.

But when I install app from http://member.ipmu.jp/yuji.tachikawa/MenuMetersElCapitan/zips/MenuMeters_1.9.zip
I get error "Could not load MenuMeters preference pane."

Not working for me.

I just installed El Capitan and your build of menu meters. I choose to instal the pref pane for all users. When I try to click to engage a menu I get the error: "Menu Extra Could Not Load."

I deleted and installed for single user only. I can check the box to turn on a menu, but nothing happens when I come back the box is unchecked again.

UPDATE
Tried a third (single user only). It seems to work.

Consider hosting binaries on Github

For more reliable and persistent hosting you might want to consider hosting the binaries using Github's "Releases" feature. This is a very common practice for packages distributed via homebrew-cask:

Here's a set of examples from the files found in https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/tree/master/Casks

> grep url * | grep github | head
aether.rb:  url "https://github.com/nehbit/aether-public/releases/download/v#{version}-OSX/Aether.#{version}.dmg"
aluxian-messenger.rb:  url "https://github.com/Aluxian/Facebook-Messenger-Desktop/releases/download/v#{version}/Messenger.dmg"
androidtool.rb:  url "https://github.com/mortenjust/androidtool-mac/releases/download/#{version}/AndroidTool.zip"
angry-ip-scanner.rb:  url "https://github.com/angryziber/ipscan/releases/download/#{version}/ipscan-mac-#{version}.zip"
anybar.rb:  url "https://github.com/tonsky/AnyBar/releases/download/#{version}/AnyBar-#{version}.zip"
apns-pusher.rb:  url "https://github.com/KnuffApp/APNS-Pusher/releases/download/v#{version}/APNS.Pusher.app.zip"
appserver.rb:  url "https://github.com/appserver-io/appserver/releases/download/#{version.sub(/-.*/, '')}/appserver-dist_#{version}_x86_64.pkg"
aptanastudio.rb:  url "https://github.com/aptana/studio3/releases/download/v#{version}/Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_#{version}.dmg"
aquamacs.rb:    url "https://github.com/davidswelt/aquamacs-emacs/releases/download/Aquamacs-#{version}-final/Aquamacs-Emacs-#{version}final.tar.bz2"
aquamacs.rb:    url "https://github.com/davidswelt/aquamacs-emacs/releases/download/Aquamacs-#{version}/Aquamacs-Emacs-#{version}.dmg"

I created an example release in a fork of this repo using the 1.9.1 tag and uploaded the zip file found here which results in the same file available here:
https://github.com/jalessio/MenuMeters/releases/download/1.9.1/MenuMeters_1.9.1.zip

Here's the "releases" page:
https://github.com/jalessio/MenuMeters/releases

And here's a proposed corresponding change to homebrew-cask to adjust to the new URL (just remove the jalessio part to switch it over to your repo):
jalessio/homebrew-cask@60b8e52

This is not essential, but removes the need to host the file yourself (see #7) and provides a long-lived location for all versions of the files. Thanks!

Menu Meter will not load

I'm using a mid-2012 Macbook Pro running El Capitan 10.11.1. I can open the downloaded zip file, but the resulting preference pane will not load. Thanks for tips.

installation of precompiled binaries triggers App Translocation on Sierra

Download the precompiled binaries and install by double-clicking on MenuMeters.prefPane. This will trigger App Translocation, which isolates MenuMeters.app to a read only filesystem with a random mount point:

$ df -h
Filesystem                                                                                        Size   Used  Avail Capacity iused      ifree %iused  Mounted on
/Users/cambecc/Library/PreferencePanes/MenuMeters.prefPane/Contents/Resources/MenuMetersApp.app  931Gi   40Gi  890Gi     5% 1330281 4293636998    0%   /private/var/folders/2z/9vfqf31x1l2bk7n92vrqz4500000gn/T/AppTranslocation/248A0569-0947-496E-9BD9-B66D59B5273E

The app seems to work but it's not ideal to have these weird file systems sitting around forever. One workaround is to strip the quarantine extended attribute from the .zip file before installation:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine MenuMeters_1.9.3.zip

Is there a better way to resolve this for people using the precompiled binaries?

Most likely, building from source would not run into this issue.

CPU settings display options dysfunctional

On latest public beta of El Capitan. The display CPU checkbox doesn't toggle on/off correctly, nor does the option to show average for multiple processors as single display work at all any more. Sometimes I really need that latter option to allow a number of menu items to display properly (even with consolidation with the Bartender app). I tried the Restart SystemUIServer script to see if it would influence the MenuMeter settings changes; it didn't.

macOS Sierra Support

When I try and open the preference pane in Sierra I get the following error:

"Preferences Error

Could not load MenuMeters preference pane."

Are there any plans for an update that introduces support for macOS Sierra?

Networkmeter - switching connection does not work

I'm connected with my WiFi and the networkmeter works great!

But if I'm connected to a VPN, the VPN-connection is always 0 up/down, so I switch to the WiFi-connection and select "show this interface" via the menu - which is not working. VPN-connection is still selected and I can't change the interface for measuring.

Is there any solution?

Thank you very much for your fork btw!

Showing Incorrect Free Memory when Your code using according to IPhone 6

I just built the PrefPane but it doesn't show anywhere

Sorry to bother you but, as I was very happy to see your posting, I immediately tried to build your version of MenuMeters...
It was sad to find out that nothing showed up in my ~/Library/PreferencePanes... Build succeeded, no errors!
I tried to compile it on Yosemite 10.10.5 as wll as El Capitan 10.11 beta 8... Same results...

What could have gone wrong here?

Kind regards,
Adam
