iStat Menus is a program that monitors the performance of your system and displays accurate statistics on your Menu Bar. This application also provides you with quick access to various Mac default apps, such as Activity Monitor, Terminal, Network Utility, and System Information.
By working with this utility you can monitor the CPU and GPU processor usage, hard drive temperature, network details, and many others. I compared the offered statistics with info gathered from Mac's monitoring apps [like Activity Monitor] and all information provided by iStat Menus was accurate.
Another thing I noticed in my testing was that the program used a very small amount of CPU resources while it was running in my Menu Bar. Other apps of its kind use way more resources while analyzing and updating system info.
What's more, this application enables you to choose which info to display on your Menu Bar. You can also change the order of the system details or even remove them permanently to reclaim space on your Menu Bar.
The one aspect I don't like is that, before you can use this utility, you need to install an additional tool. Nonetheless, you can complete the aforementioned task directly from the app's interface and the installation process takes a very small amount of time to be completed.
Cutting a long story short, iStat Menus proves to be a reliable solution for monitoring system performance. Plus, it comes with a very reasonable cost considering the amount of features it has to offer you.

v6.6.1 is out but 6.6.0 on OS 10.13 cannot see it. I'll try to install 6.6.1 and let you know if it doesn't work.
Very handy, i use it since it release, i tried Menumeters which is the free alternative, but i prefer iStats Menu, which have more functions. Must have app.
very useful app. I think they charge too much for the weather [I paid but not very happily]. and 6.60 has glitches with mOS 12 beta 3 [e.g., battery icon always shows full charge whereas the % and time remaining show correct numbers]

6.6 autoupdated last night. It's supposedly 10.11 only, but it runs on my 10.13 system. The Weather feature requires a subscription which I've turned off. Meterologist works just fine and is free.

This is a crucial plugin for anyone doing development or heavy use of their Mac. I've owned this for a decade. It's the biggest thing I miss when using my Windows machine.
Hasn't been updated in a year. The only sensor info it shows is my SSD temp, but I'm positive the the new iMac 27" has many more sensors that that.
Super nice app for the advanced user. Personally, I just use 2 menus; sensors [to watch the overall temp] and GPU to watch my eGPU temp and CPU processes.
The dollar signs, when your free trial runs out, say it all about this company Bjango. App works the best in class, so you will buy every version. No upgrade price, just buy it again. DON'T buy the multi-license, it will never work on more than one machine with ONE OS. Pity the greed...

I had tried other monitors.I gave them 2 stars.This one really did a good job, and I gave 5 stars.
This software turned on my fan that was not working.Other
softwares could not.Thanks
Handy app for quick monitoring of my system.
The addition of spacers is a nice touch. They are subtle but effective.

really convenient software !!
One of the New Features is Weather Info. It's advertised as part of the Package here, but my understanding is you Pay Extra for it.

iStat Menus 6.2 completely breaks S.M.A.R.T. support in macOS [10.13.5 and 10.13.6] on Macs with non-NVMe drives. After iStat Menus 6.2 installation Apple Disk Utility shows "S.M.A.R.T. status: Not supported". After iStat Menus 6.2 uninstallation - Apple Disk Utility shows "S.M.A.R.T. status: Verified".
