I was recommended this app as a less resource hungry version of iStat Menus, but it’s not comparable. The free version shows you CPU activity, memory usage, network activity and disk space used. All this is visible as tiny graphs from the menu bar, clicking this presents a summary screen with a little more detail. I was expecting was to be able to click those graphs and see more detail such as which apps are using the CPU, network and network connections, but that’s just not here. You can see how memory, CPU and network has changed over time, again on tiny graphs, but there’s no detail. There is a version 3 in the works and if this bring the ability to see metrics in much more detail it will be worth it as it’s a very well presented app. ### 3/5 — Looks nice, not perfect in execution *2026-08-04, version 2.16.13* I have both the Mac and the iPhone version. They each can take a surprisingly long time to update on the status of their device. More significantly, the synch across iCloud seems flaky … sometimes one device shows outdated info on the other device for many hours. Documentation and in-app support is virtually non-existence. I am waiting on email support. ### 2/5 — Not working properly *2026-08-01* Not doing anything ### 4/5 — Pro? *2026-07-31, version 2.16.12* I have paid for lifetime pro. it only upgrades on ONE MacBook. I cannot get it to upgrade to pro on any other device despite the documentation saying devices aren’t limited. The ‘Upgrade to Pro” shows on every copy, and clicking the $34.99 button does nothing… but the $24.99 took more money and Usage still tells me I should Upgrade to Pro. ### 4/5 — Not updated enough *2026-04-04, version 2.16.9* BE WARY. M5 not supported for graphics etc even though m5 has been out over 5 months. Update fixed ### 3/5 — Missing fan data *2026-03-22, version 2.16.9* Don’t see any fan/fan speed data despite the app notes saying it should be reporting. If its there, maybe make it less hard to find? ### 5/5 — Useful Across All Devices *2026-01-10, version 2.7.14* I’m a big fan of this app. I have the subscription through SetApp and synced across multiple devices. Quite nifty! ### 5/5 — Best app you’ll ever download *2025-12-29, version 2.16.7* Outstanding utility. This is the top app I recommend to friend’s who are new to mac products! ### 5/5 — Performance Gages for your Mac *2025-12-24, version 2.7.14* Coolest app I got, customize color theme and nearly every performance gage on your computer. The most important one is to keep track of RAM consumption, disk space, etc ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-03, version 2.16.7* Very useful application for developers! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-11-21, version 2.7.14* Très bon design, fonctionnalités au top ou presque. Par contre il faudrai mettre à jour pour le support du thème Liquid Glass d'iOS 26... les graphiques des widgets sont tout blancs... ### 3/5 — Heller Installation update (Stromverbrauch zu hoch) *2025-11-09, version 2.16.6* Damit man Temperaturen und sonstige wichtige Dinge auslesen kann, muss man sich von der Herstellers Seite ein Plugin installieren, was hier nicht so wirklich erwähnt wird,, dieser Helfer verbraucht nur leider sehr viel Strom ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Indicators are all white *2026-08-10, version 2.16.13* Since the last update, the widgets are broken and show all white filling the whole graphic. ### 1/5 — Purchased the All platforms but can’t use it *2026-06-02, version 2.16.12* It’s super buggy you can pay all patforms and the app will still ask you to upgrade ### 1/5 — Network usage does not work *2026-02-16, version 2.7.14* Got new phone. Network usage doesn’t work and iCloud backup seems to combine both my old and new phone with one backup?? ### 1/5 — Cannot install Helper *2026-02-07* After downloading and running the UsageHelperInstaller.pkg file, during the installation process, the message "Installation failed." appears and the installation stops. **Developer response:** Please reach out vie email, so I can help you fix it! ### 1/5 — Thermal widgets *2026-01-29, version 2.16.7* Thermal widgets don’t work ### 1/5 — Bogus *2026-01-18* Nothing ### 1/5 — Lüge *2025-11-16, version 2.16.6* Zeigt keine GPU Nutzung an trotz Helper Installation. (Apple M5) ### 1/5 — Subscription is non negotiable *2025-11-10, version 2.7.13* You can’t use this app for anything aside from what your iPhone already tells you without a subscription. If you aren’t planning to pay for the app, don’t bother. ### 1/5 — No discount ever? *2025-09-21* Can we get some discount like in other apps? I am using it for years now and still never see any promotion or discounts. ### 1/5 — Hii mmm Neolithicni *2025-08-29, version 2.7.9* Noodbiennial I fr ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — W APP *2026-08-22, version 2.16.16* This app allowed me to see the activity as my laptop has no LED indicators and it is actually better. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-07-29* Its amazing to see network and memory usage over a small icon on top tray of my Mac OS screen. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! 🤩 ### 5/5 — One of my Top 10 Mac Widgets! *2026-07-05, version 2.16.12* Very useful, reminds you when you go low on resources, such as disk space, RAM. The only thing I miss is RAM memory pressure and GPU realtime history ### 5/5 — Great support and really good product *2026-06-29, version 2.16.12* I was having a Pro subscription sync issue between devices. Oleh was SUPER responsive and resolved the matter quickly and easily. I’ve been a satisfied paid user for the past 18 months and would recommend to anyone. A+ ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-13, version 2.7.17* This app does what it’s intended to do well. The pro version is 100% worth the few bucks and I love that it’s a one time fee. Support is great as well, I was having an issue on one of my macs (user error) and the dev was quick to help me. ### 5/5 — A must have! *2026-05-26, version 2.16.12* Very useful app. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Incredible, Incredible, Incredible *2026-03-11, version 2.16.8* All the most useful elements of the day to day all in one bar. I used to always try and figure out how much disk space I had left, but now it’s all available at a glance. Incredible. I didn’t even know I had this problem until Usage solved it for me. ### 5/5 — 我 *2026-02-24, version 2.7.14* 好用 ### 5/5 — Nifty little app *2026-01-19, version 2.16.7* Really handy to keep an eye on everything about your computer’s statistics. ### 5/5 — Exceptional Quality *2026-01-15, version 2.16.7* This is one of my favorite apps of all time, I rarely buy apps and I bought this one for all my devices. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
