• HELP PLEASE: MAC AIR ULTRA SLOW CPU

  iStat Menus has been around a long time and is very reliable. I've used this for many, many years on numerous different Mac models, and it's top-notch.

If using iStat, go to iStat Menus, click on the CPU/GPU dropdown, then the GPU in the active items bar, and select processor. You'll see a graph and you can just let that sit for a few minutes and...

• Can my MacBook run Big Sur? I installed it a year ago and its been good but it started to get súper slow and I Dont know why.

  If you’re interested in checking the temps of your Mac, there are several tools that you can download, but a good one that I use is iStat Menus. You can add your Macs temperature to the menu bar so you can check it any time. Pay attention to any of the CPU related temps while you’re performing your regular tasks on the machine.

• How to show all app running on the menu bar?

  The basic answer is: that’s not how MacOS works. The Dock plays that roll. The Dock is the equivalent of the Windows taskbar. The Mac menu bar is the equivalent of each Windows window menu bar. In MacOS the left side of the top menu bar changes each time you select a window instead of having an individual menu bar stuck to each window. When Macs first came out screens were small then Windows 3.1 seemed to waste a... Source: about 1 year ago

• [Mac] [Calendar 366 II] [$14.99 → $4.99] [Menu bar calendar for events and reminders (companion to the Calendar 366 iOS app)]

  You should also consider the menu bar calendar included with iStat Menus, which is currently 50% off ($12 → $6). It doesn't include functionality for adding/editing events or reminders, but for viewing a calendar with a list of things happening today (or the next few days), it's perfect minimalism (screenshot). Its world clock includes some cool astronomical stats. Source: over 1 year ago
