- Display of current readings in a horizontal or vertical window that can be customized
- Display of current readings in a "floating" screen display or on the background of the Desktop
- Output of no, one, or two selectable current readings in a Dock tile
- Output of no, one, or up to eight selectable current readings in the menu-bar
- Definition of an unlimited number of history graphs that visualize readings in a time interval between 12 minutes and 1 week
- Adjustable refresh interval between 1 second and 1 hour
- Customizable labels and display options for all sensors
