Glanceable

At a glance,
all the time.

InfoBar lives quietly in your menu bar and shows your Mac's CPU and memory load as a single compact number — like 12/60. No window to open, no graph to read. Just the truth, right where you already look.

  • One tidy pill: CPU on the left, memory on the right.
  • Refreshes automatically, so the number is always current.
  • Never steals focus and never shows in your Dock.

In control

Every app.
Sorted your way.

Open InfoBar and see every running app in one clean, light list. Tap a column to instantly sort by CPU, memory or name. Start typing to filter to exactly what you're hunting for.

  • Sort by %CPU, Memory or Apps with one click.
  • Live search across app and process names.
  • Grouped per app, with a process count when it matters.

One click

Spot the hog.
Quit it.

Found the app draining your battery or pinning a core? Click its row to drill into every process behind it — or quit the whole app cleanly, right from the list. No Activity Monitor required.

  • “Show all processes” to expand any app.
  • Quit an app gracefully in a single click.
  • Native macOS menus — exactly what you expect.

Effortless

Native, quiet
& tiny.

InfoBar is built entirely in SwiftUI for macOS. It weighs less than a single photo, asks for nothing, and stays out of your way — a clean light panel that opens instantly and resizes to fit your screen.

  • Under 1 MB and instant to launch.
  • Menu-bar only — no Dock icon, no noise.
  • Drag to resize the panel to whatever height you like.

Good to know

What do I need to run InfoBar? +

A Mac running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. InfoBar is a menu-bar utility, so it never appears in your Dock.

How do I install it? +

Download the zip, double-click to unpack, and drag InfoBar.app into your Applications folder. Launch it and the CPU/MEM pill appears in your menu bar.

macOS says it can't verify the developer. +

Because InfoBar is distributed directly (not via the App Store), the first launch may be blocked by Gatekeeper. Right-click InfoBar.app and choose Open, then confirm — or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/InfoBar.app in Terminal once.

Does it slow my Mac down? +

No. InfoBar samples your system on a light interval and renders its lists lazily, so it stays well under a megabyte of memory and barely registers on the CPU it measures.

How much does it cost? +

Nothing. InfoBar is completely free.
