A free CPU monitoring software that displays usage in a floating meter or dock, aiding users in tracking system performance.
CPU Usage is a software that is free of cost and mainly designed to give you an accurate and real-time report of your CPU usage. This app comes with two display modes, which are a floating rectangular meter and a dock display. The meter has a transparent background, and its opacity is directly related to your CPU usage. Hence, you get a clear visual representation of your CPU usage.
Moreover, for computers with more than one processor, the app provides multiple cells for each processor, with the CPU number displayed below each percentage. When you are working on your computer, the frontmost application has a completely opaque border. Also, you can drag the meter around with your mouse, enabling you to have a clear view of the app's display.
However, when running another application or program, the border is hidden, and the mouse events will easily fall through to whatever below the meter. Furthermore, you can customize the app's settings with the CPU meters on the dock icon. This customization includes choosing between the Dock icon, the floater, or both, configure background color, text color, opacity, cell size, and adjust orientation, especially for multiple-CPU machines.
It is essential to note that CPU Usage software is released and licensed under a BSD license, which means that the app's source code is available and can be readily modified and shared, depending on the terms and conditions. In conclusion, with CPU Usage, you get a free app that can accurately show the CPU usage on your Mac without any hassle, quick and easy!
