MenuMeters for El Capitan
MenuMeters for OS X El Capitan 10.11 (and later)
This is a port to OS X El Capitan 10.11 of 
MenuMeters by Alex Harper.
MenuMeters is a set of CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools for Mac OS X. Although there are numerous other programs which do the same thing, none had quite the feature set I was looking for. Most were windows that sat in a corner or on the desktop, which are inevitably obscured by document windows on a laptop's small screen. Those monitors which used the menubar mostly used the NSStatusItem API, which has the annoying tendency to totally reorder my menubar on every login.
The MenuMeters monitors are true SystemUIServer plugins (also known as Menu Extras). This means they can be reordered using command-drag and remember their positions in the menubar across logins and restarts.
- The CPU Meter can display system load both as a total percentage, or broken out as user and system time. It can also graph user and system load and display the load as a "thermometer". The menu for the CPU Meter contains several pieces of information I like to have a single click away.
- The Disk Activity Meter displays disk activity to local disks on the system (anything that is a IOKit BlockStorage driver). It is hotplug aware, and will show activity on FireWire and USB disks as they are mounted. The Disk Meter menu shows volume space details for local drives (it does not display mounted network volumes for performance reasons).
- The Memory Meter can display current memory usage as either a pie chart, thermometer, history graph, or as used/free totals. The Memory Meter menu shows a breakdown of current memory usage and VM statistics. The Memory Meter can optionally display a paging indicator light.
- The Net Meter can display network throughput as arrows, bytes per second, and/or as a graph.

MenuMeters was useful and this version bring him back to life.
Lightweight and straight to the point of seeing useful numbers for the Mac, works perfectly on Catalina.
Great Tool, and the best part is it is open source and FREE :D
This is the best meter. I don't need to run top in a terminal when i can see these indicators in the tool bar. Excellent, simple, free.
