# Simon

Simple menubar system monitor for macOS, written in Python with pyobjc.

![Simon Screenshot](screenshots/dark.png)

Only tested on macOS Sierra, should work for El Capitan. Supports Python 2.7

and 3.6, versions in between hasn't been tested.

## Installation & Usage

Install with pip:

```bash

$ pip install simon_mac

```

To run Simon:

```bash

$ simon

Simon is now running.

CTRL+C does not work here.

You can quit through the menubar (Simon -> Quit).

```

To remove the Python rocketship icon from your dock (Note: not everyone will

have the dock icon due to differences in Python installations. This **should**

work, but if it doesn't, please open an issue.):

```bash

$ simon --suppress-dock-icon

Done! Run Simon again.

```

To run Simon in the background, use `nohup`:

```bash

$ nohup simon &

```

To quit Simon, quit through the menubar (Simon -> Quit).

## Todo / Upcoming

* More stats - battery, temperature, etc.

* Measure impact on system resources

* Preferences/settings: allow user to set update interval, etc.
