Hi there! Just wanted to introduce you to the latest version of my macOS system monitor utility.
VitalSigns 3 is a clean and minimalist system monitor for macOS Big Sur.
It's a free alternative to other, more complex solutions. It doesn't overwhelm you with lots of system stats and variables. Instead, it focuses on the most relevant parameters: temperatures, fan speeds and memory usage. And it's fully customizable.
Features
VitalSigns 3 is free, and of course, it's been notarized by Apple, which means that the app is clean and trustworthy. At the moment, it requires an Intel-based Mac. Support for M1 is in the works (I'm currently looking for M1 beta-testers).

A bit of history
VitalSigns has been around since 2015. It initially worked as a small widget in the macOS Notification Center.
When Apple released Big Sur, it dramatically changed the way widgets work, which made it impossible to update the widget contents in real-time. I had to re-write the app almost from scratch, and also move it to the macOS status bar. The old version for macOS Catalina and earlier is still available, although it's no longer supported.
If you have any suggestions to improve the app, please let me know. I'm a small indie developer, and VitalSigns is just a hobby project that I work on in my free time, but I'll do my best to implement your requests. Thank you!
