I found iStatsMenu also destabilized my system. I’d get random kernel panics, while it was running.

It may have been just one of the display modules, as I didn’t use the default set, but I never felt like tracking it down, so I uninstalled it.

Every now and then, I try reinstalling it, but it still crashes the system. Not a big deal. Just eye candy.



I’m very curious what it is doing to panic your computer


I was, too, but I knew it would be a huge pain to track down (the crashes are very random). This is the kind of thing that MacsBug was good for.

For me, it doesn’t really have a ton of actual utility. It’s more of a “toy,” so I don’t really lose sleep over it.

I’m sure it works fine, for the vast majority of folks, so it’s obviously not something the authors worry about.
