CPU Usage is reported for the entire system. user is the amount of time the CPU was busy executing code in user space, sys the amount of time the CPU was busy executing code in kernel space and idle measures unused CPU capacity.

The Load is a measure of the amount of computational work that a computer system performs. The Load Average represents the average system load over a period of time. The three numbers represent the system load during the last one-, five-, and fifteen-minute periods.

CPU State indicates the current performance state of the CPU. Efficiency - The CPU is optimized for power efficiency, typically during thermal throttling or low battery. On Intel, low overall CPU usage suggests the system can operate in a lower power state. Balanced - Normal operating mode, balancing performance and power. Performance - Maximum performance mode, typically during high CPU load.

Expanding CPU State will show all CPU cores and their utilization, color coded. On Apple Silicon, Efficiency Cores are separated from Performance Cores. Hover over any core to see a tooltip with core number, type, and current usage.

GPU Usage show current memory usage and memory allocated. For discrete GPUs this is VRAM size, for integrated GPUs such as Intel UHD or Apple Silicon, this is dynamic allocated memory from system RAM. The gauge visualizes overall compute utilization – launch a game or video to see it in action.

The CPU and GPU labels show the proccessor models. The GPU model changes depending on, if the system uses the integrated or the discrete GPU. On Apple Silicon, we only show the SoC (System on Chip) here.

With the optional Helper installed, you can see the current CPU and GPU temperatures and Fans speeds. The animated fan icons rotate in sync with your system's actual fan RPM.

The Applications section lists the top CPU-intensive processes. Usage can exceed 100% when a process utilizes multiple cores. Click any listed application to switch to its window (requires an open window). Access Activity Monitor directly by clicking its icon for more detailed system information.

Uptime tracks your Mac's active running time. Click to view detailed info including startup time, sleep duration, and active hours.

Displays a list of all mounted disks. The first disk is the boot disk (e.g., "Macintosh HD") and determines the usage percentage shown in the Disk gauge above.

Disk activity appears as red and blue triangle, indicating the amount of bytes written and read from the disk per second.

Each disk shows a horizontal progress bar indicating usage percentage, with total space used and free space displayed below (e.g., "714.04 GB Used | 1.29 TB Free").

For disks supporting S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology), Monit uses the Helper to monitor disk health. A green square indicates healthy status, while a red square warns of potential disk failure. When supported, disk temperature is also displayed. A grey square indicates S.M.A.R.T. is unsupported.

Click the disk icon to view additional details, including cumulative read/write statistics since boot. Removable disks include an eject option in this menu.

The Applications Disk I/O panel (requires Helper) shows current per-process disk activity. Note that the main disk activity indicators may not perfectly sync with this panel as they're monitored through different processes.

The Network status circle indicates connectivity: green for Internet access, yellow for local network only, and red for no connection.

Your Public IP address is displayed with one-click copying functionality. Click the Public IP label to expand additional network details including Host Name, Router, and DNS settings. All these values can be copied by clicking them.

All active network interfaces are listed, with the primary interface marked by a green indicator and shown first. Each interface displays its device name and interface identifier (e.g., en0, en13).

Interfaces show either a Wi-Fi wifi or Ethernet settings_ethernet icon. The Wi-Fi icon updates in real-time to show signal strength. For connected interfaces, the Local Address is displayed alongside current transfer rates, indicated by blue (upload) and green (download) indicators. Peak upload and download speeds are tracked and displayed for each interface.

Click the network icon to view detailed statistics including, Connection type (e.g., 802.11ax) and Link Speed. For WiFI; Signal strength (RSSI), noise levels in dBm and Channel. MTU settings. Total data transferred. Copy to clipboard MAC address. Quick access to Network Settings and Wi-Fi preferences is also available from this menu.

With the Helper installed, Network Statistics at the bottom show per-process network activity, including read and write operations. Connection accounting tracks bytes transferred by each process, updating immediately when connections terminate.
