Docktopus for macOS

System Stats

CPU, GPU, memory, and network at a glance, from a single dock tile to a full dashboard.

Three distinct themes. Light and dark presets. Free to try, one purchase to keep.

System Stats

Know what your Mac is doing.

Keep one metric in a Small Stats tile, show CPU, memory, GPU, and network together in the wide dock module, or enable the menu bar readout. Click any stats widget or the menu bar item to open the detailed panel; hover for full values.

Small Stats: one tile, your choice of metric.

Choose CPU, memory, GPU, or network for a single dock tile. Right-click to switch the metric, or use the Metric picker in the panel editor. Add multiple Small Stats tiles to keep your favorite readings together. Network shows both download and upload rates; CPU, GPU, and network include recent activity graphs when space allows.

Click a tile to open System Stats details, or hover for full values. Tiles adapt to horizontal and side docks, share the regular widget’s refresh interval and metric colors, and support their own background, border, and text colors in the theme editor.

Controls and details

From total CPU to individual apps

Follow recent CPU activity, inspect individual cores, and see which apps are busiest. Performance and efficiency cores are labeled when your Mac exposes that information. Overall CPU is a share of all cores; app CPU follows Activity Monitor, where 100% means one fully used core and an app can exceed 100%.

Memory with useful context

See used and total RAM, swap usage, the memory pressure reported by macOS, and the apps using the most resident memory. Pressure is separate from the percentage of RAM in use. App rankings group related processes; shared memory can be counted in more than one process.

GPU activity and available sensors

Check recent GPU activity alongside CPU and GPU temperatures and the GPU clock when those readings are available. GPU usage and sensor coverage depend on your Mac and the values exposed by macOS. Missing readings are marked unavailable instead of appearing as zero activity.

Compare download and upload

See transfer rates in bytes per second on the primary network interface, with a fallback to active interfaces, and peak rates for the current System Stats session. Download and upload share one graph scale, so their heights can be compared. Top Network Apps combines each app’s attributed download and upload; its totals can differ from system traffic, and unavailable attribution leaves system totals visible.

Choose how often to refresh

Set dock and menu bar refresh to 2–15 seconds in Settings. System totals update about once per second while the detailed panel is open; app rankings, sensors, and compact GPU readings refresh less often to limit background work. Graphs show recent samples from the current run. Sampling stops when all stats views and the menu bar readout are closed or disabled.

Match your desktop

Use Liquid Glass, CDE, or Windows 95, with light and dark presets. Customize CPU, GPU, memory, download, and upload colors across the dock, details panel, and menu bar; titles adapt for readable contrast. Restore Stats Colors returns the selected theme’s metric colors. Opened details stay available while you scroll; close them with Esc or a click outside.
