history

Project history and usage

AirStats is an open-source, Apple-silicon macOS system monitor that presents hardware and operating-system metrics in the menu bar, a drop-down panel, and an optional desktop widget.

Project history

AirStats was created as an MIT-licensed macOS system monitor focused on keeping the overhead of an always-running menu-bar utility low. Its collectors read system information using native facilities including Mach, IOKit, sysctl, and CoreWLAN.

Adoption history

AirStats is distributed as a signed and notarized macOS application, through its official download and Homebrew casks. Its official repository also supports source builds using Swift Package Manager and Xcode's Swift toolchain.

How it is used

Users choose up to sixteen menu-bar metrics and can inspect per-core load, memory pressure, processes, GPU, network, disk, battery, and temperature in a panel. The app also supports desktop widgets, threshold notifications, shortcuts, and per-metric colors. It requires macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon.

Why package nerds care

AirStats appeals to package users who want an open-source, native system monitor with a small resource footprint and no persistent helper or launch agent. Its Swift and AppKit implementation is also a compact example of packaging a menu-bar application and the Sparkle update framework.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for airstats. Package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • No Homebrew bottle metadata was recorded.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
