Till today i was using MenuMeters and MagiCal to add several functions to my main menu bar in OSX.

Today i realized there is a non-widget version of iStats called iStatsMenu. The application can be found here.

Functions:

• Monitor Temps
• Monitor Fans
• Monitor Memory
• Monitor CPU
• Monitor Network
• Monitor Disks
• Display Date & Time ( the MagiCal part)

A short preview

The configuration is easily done via a System Preferences entry.

I am using it on my both Mac’s and it looks & works as supposed. I can really recommend this tool as MenuMeters alternative.

MagiCal project page can be found here
A short description:

MagiCal is a FREE menu-based clock and calendar. It features a huge range of configuration options for how the time and date are displayed, and can operate either in addition to, or instead of, the built in system menu clock. In addition to this, MagiCal features a handy drop-down calendar that can be torn off and placed anywhere on screen.

and it looks like this:

Usefull add-on function which should be already included in the OS itself, but ok thats another story

Best regards
