From temperature to the volume levels, it shows information quite neatly on the menu bar.
After a quick SMC Reset, it got back to normal and helped prevent any potential lasting damage. In my case, I found that the RPM (rotations per minute) of the fan on my MacBook Air had suddenly dropped with a whirring sound. The iStat Menus can also help you identify if any app is suspiciously consuming more resources than it is supposed to. Also, the app doesn’t consume many resources to collect the information, and you can view all for that by clicking the app icon on the menu bar. So iStat Menu provides details of such components as system information in a more comprehensive way.
You might want to know the status of the granular components like CPU, GPU, network, sensors, and others. Monitor your system status while working can get a bit tedious.
