Overview

Your Mac, at a glance.

Whether you just want to keep an eye on CPU usage or you need GPU temperatures, per-core breakdowns, and top processes — Cmndr puts it all in your menu bar where you can see it at a glance. Five live graphs sit in your menu bar, and a single click opens a detailed panel with everything you need to know.

What you can monitor

Five letters. Everything that matters.

C

Computer

Total CPU and GPU usage, per-core breakdown, renderer and tiler utilization, and the top processes eating your CPU.

M

Memory

Pressure level, usage by type — app, wired, compressed, cached — and the processes using the most memory.

N

Network

Download and upload speeds, packet rates, and your IP addresses. Click to copy.

D

Disk

Read and write throughput, I/O operations, capacity per volume, and swap usage.

R

Resources

Battery level and health, 24-hour charge history, power draw in watts, CPU and GPU temperatures, and thermal state.

Philosophy

Out of the way. Never out of reach.

Stays out of your way

  • Lives in the menu bar — no dock icon, no desktop clutter
  • Click to see details, click away to dismiss
  • Detach any panel into a floating window and pin it on top while you work
  • Right-click any menu bar item to switch display modes or open Settings
  • Compact mode for machines with limited menu bar space

Make it yours

  • Seven color themes
  • Automatic light and dark mode
  • Multiple display modes per monitor — pick the graph that matters most
  • Adjust graph widths, toggle sections, set update speed from slow to extreme
  • Show or hide inline percentages for CPU, memory pressure, and battery
