## What it is
A fork of the classic MenuMeters macOS utility that displays CPU, memory, disk, and network usage monitors in the menu bar. It runs as a standalone faceless app using NSStatusItem, since modern macOS no longer loads third-party menu extras.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu usage from the mac menu bar
- show memory and disk activity in the menubar
- display network throughput on macos
- system monitor for el capitan through big sur
- replace activity monitor with menu bar stats

## When to choose
- you want the classic MenuMeters look on older macOS versions like El Capitan through Big Sur
- you prefer a lightweight GPL-2.0 menubar monitor
- you want to hack on an Objective-C menu bar utility

## When to avoid
- you run a recent macOS version - actively maintained alternatives like Stats, iGlance, or eul are recommended
- you need modern UI or advanced monitoring features
- you need a signed, regularly updated app
