## 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.

### Timeline

- Public project: Released as an MIT-licensed Swift application for macOS.
- Current distribution model: Signed downloads, Homebrew casks, source builds, and opt-out Sparkle update checks.
