AirStats
AirStats is a macOS menu bar system monitor that shows live CPU, memory, GPU, network, disk, battery, and temperature information.
What is AirStats?
AirStats is a native macOS system monitoring app for users who want to watch Mac performance from the menu bar. It helps you keep track of CPU activity, memory pressure, GPU usage, network traffic, disk activity, battery status, temperatures, and top processes without opening a full system utility. The app can show selected metrics directly in the menu bar, open a detailed drop-down panel for deeper information, and place a desktop widget on screen for persistent monitoring. It is designed for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later, and its lightweight approach makes it well suited for people who want continuous visibility into system health during everyday work, development, or troubleshooting. AirStats is published by Byren Cheema.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
AirStats is a legitimate Mac utility for local system monitoring. The information it shows is read from your Mac so it can display hardware and performance data, which is normal for this type of app. It is intended to run in the menu bar while you use your Mac, and quitting the app stops its monitoring features. Keep it updated if you rely on built-in update checks or system-level performance data.
Recommendation: Keep AirStats if you want quick visibility into your Mac's performance from the menu bar or desktop. If you no longer use system monitoring tools, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though you will lose its live metrics, alerts, and widget features.
