XRG 1.2 Beta 6 / 1.1


An open source system monitor for Mac OS X.
XRG is an open source system monitor for Mac OS X. XRG allows you to monitor CPU activity, memory usage, battery status, machine temperature, network activity, disk I/O, current weather, and stock market data. The goal of XRG is to be a functional system monitor that has a clean and flexible interface, so it doesn't intrude on the rest of your Mac experience. XRG is designed to take as little CPU time as possible while still showing detailed graphs on system usage. Just to give you an idea of XRG's overhead, I mention that it uses 1-5% of the CPU on a Dual 1.25 Ghz G4 and 3-5% of the CPU on a 667 Mhz G4.

What's New in This Release:

  • Adjusted the temperatures reported for G5 CPUs.
  • Added Vu and Vt to designate virtual memory used and virtual memory total respectively.
  • Added a bar to the memory graph showing swap space usage.
  • The Stock Graph now shows the current stock price instead of yesterday's closing price.
  • Added an "Update Stock Graph Now" option in the Stock Graph's contextual menu.
  • Added the PID to the Top 5 CPU menu items, for quick killing.
  • Adjusted default colors to something nicer.
  • Added cursor rects to hint when the window can be resized.
