ZetaWatch Alternatives

ZetaWatch is described as 'Small OS X program that displays the zfs status in the menu bar, similar to what iStat Menus does for other information. It is fairly well tested, but due to the current state of libzfs and libzfs_core, changes will be required until the API stabilizes' and is a system information utility in the os & utilities category. There are more than 10 alternatives to ZetaWatch for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and PortableApps.com. The best ZetaWatch alternative is Time Machine, which is free. Other great apps like ZetaWatch are Stats, iStat Menus, MenuMeters for El Capitan and DriveDx.
