Heart Monitor 1.3
Heart Monitor is a bare-bones CPU monitor menu extra that displays a beating heart more>>
Heart Monitor is a bare-bones CPU monitor menu extra that displays a beating heart. As the CPU load increases, the heart beats faster. You can set Heart Monitor to track the User, System, Idle or Nice load. It does not do much else. Uptime, processor info and other tidbits are not displayed. You can set the window level (desktop, normal or floating), and optionally display a small window showing all CPU load averages.
There are many CPU monitors out there that give you plenty of CPU information. This is not one of those applications.
How do I use Heart Monitor?
Simply double click to launch. A heart will appear on your desktop, and a new menu item will appear in your menubar, displaying a percentage. This is the CPU load average for whichever load you wish to track (User, System, Idle or Nice). Use this menu to set the preferences of the Heart Monitor.
How do I quit Heart Monitor?
Simply click on the menu that is displaying the CPU load, and choose "Quit Heart Monitor".
Why doesnt Heart Monitor show the things I want to see?
Because Im not you. And its free. And the source code is available.
Heart Monitor is 159% freeware. You may redistribute the application as you see fit, without notification to myself, as long as no fee is collected.
