Useful for System Micromanagers (like me)

This program could be TMI for normal users, but heaven for Those Who Need To Know™. Works great.

1) You control exactly what you want to see, and how you want to see it. So if you only need one thing, like the flashy lights for disk/network activity, you can eliminate the rest. What you see is precisely customizable to your specific needs.
2) Clicking on an item gives you a dropdown w/ DETAILED info about that item. Yippee!
3) It looks wide & cluttery, but it’s only as wide & cluttery as you want. You can even control the width of the histrograms, or eliminate the ones you don’t need, or use bar graphs, or percentages, or all of the above… You can add spaces wherever you need to create clarity, even w/in each item.
4) You can control the order in which the items appear across the menu bar to your liking.
5) When you open programs with a bunch of menu bar items, they’ll replace the System Monitor items while that program is active, so there’s no interference w/ the functionality of the apps you’re using. (Protip: put the SysMon items you want to see all the time on the *right* side of the list.)

Bresink has been developing useful utilities for Mac OS for what seems forever, quality is *never* an issue. Anyone who doesn’t give this 4 or 5 stars either didn’t need it to begin with, or isn’t configuring it to their specific needs. (Full Disclosure: I have no affiliation w/ this developer aside from purchasing his stuff for more than a decade.)
