To hack:Ĭlone the git repo, open MenuMeters.xcodeproj, and build the target MenuMeters. 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. More recently, starting from Catalina, MenuMeters was changed from a preference pane within System Preferences to an independent app. Since then, many people contributed pull requests, most of which have been incorporated. I'm making here a minimal modification so that it runs as a faceless app, putting NSStatusItem's instead of NSMenuExtra's. 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.

It's a great utility originally developed at. If you'd like your version mentioned here, please tell me at the issues page. To be fair, it may be an issue of MenuMeters not being totally compatible with Big Sur, but my fan has not run yet. I use MenuMeters and memory use is much less according to the app - about 20 less.
