System Stats
Show live CPU, RAM, disk, and GPU usage directly in your menu bar. Numbers update every 2 seconds so you always have a real-time read on your Mac's load without opening Activity Monitor.
Getting Started
System Stats is enabled by default for new installs. Once active, a compact numeric readout appears in your menu bar next to the ProToys icon.
- Open ProToys from your menu bar.
- Navigate to System.
- Toggle System Stats to On (if not already active).
Requirements
System Stats doesn't need any permissions — it reads the same numbers Activity Monitor shows.
What's Displayed
Each enabled metric appears as a compact label in the menu bar:
| Metric | Unit | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Percentage (0–100%) | How busy your processor is right now. |
| RAM | Gigabytes used | How much memory is currently in use. |
| Disk | Percentage used | How full your startup drive is. |
| GPU | Percentage (0–100%) | How busy your graphics processor is. |
You can show or hide the labels (CPU, RAM, Disk, GPU) without hiding the numbers.
Keyboard Shortcuts
System Stats has no keyboard shortcut — it runs passively in the menu bar.
