v1.0.0

The first release of Barometry: live system stats in your Mac's menu bar, with a detailed dashboard a click away.

Highlights

• Menu bar modules for CPU, GPU, memory, network, sensors, and battery. Show each as its own menu bar item, or combine them into one item in the order you choose.
• A dashboard in two styles: an instrument cluster of dials, or a list of rows with live trends. You can hide any section.
• Details on hover: hover a dashboard section to see its history, breakdown, and top processes, or click it to keep them open.
• Keep Awake stops idle sleep and keeps the display on. Turn it on from the dashboard's footer or by ⌥-clicking the battery item; a cup on the battery shows when it's on.
• Settings for temperatures in °C or °F, the network interface, a 1, 2, or 5 second refresh interval, and launch at login.
• Light on resources: Barometry uses under 1% CPU while idle, and refreshes every second while the dashboard is open.
• In-app updates through Sparkle. Check for updates or turn on automatic checks in Settings → Updates.
