To quote Alex, “Due to new Apple-enforced code signature restrictions, MenuMeters is not compatible with the OS X 10.11 “El Capitan” public beta. More recently, starting from Catalina, MenuMeters was changed from a preference pane within System Preferences to an independent app. Although the restriction is similar, this is not directly related to 10.11’s “System Integrity Protection” (SIP, aka “rootless”) feature and disabling SIP has no effect on MenuMeters. This is due to an increasing amount of security features imposed by Apple on preference panes running within System Preferences, which made it too cumbersome to develop MenuMeters as a preference pane. In the meantime I can only suggest that you do not install 10.11 if you wish to use MenuMeters.” Unless Apple makes the signature restriction optional, it is not clear that MenuMeters in its present form can ever be made compatible with OS X 10.11.

The ever creative and industrious Yuji has come to save the day and ported MenuMeters to El Capitan with some nominal modifications to Alex’s original work.Īs a result, the only minor setback is that for the time being, using Yuji’s port, we can no longer CMD + Click the MenuMeters’ menubar icons to re-arrange them.

If you miss your MenuMeters, get Yuji’s port at his web site to get by. MenuMeters is a set of CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools for Mac OS X. At least until Alex sorts things out.Īppreciation and kudos goes out to Alex for thinking and building MenuMeters all these years and Yuji for porting it so we can switch over to El Capitan sooner.
