Bjango is a well respected and long time app developer for macOS and iOS. They have been one of my favourite app developers. They make a beautiful, powerful, yet simple piece of software. I really like Skala and iStat, both apps are very useful and look stunning. Marc, founder of Bjango, is a fantastic designer, you may want to check out his work here.iStat View is a highly detailed remote monitoring app, that lets you check the vital stats for Macs, PCs and servers from anywhere around the world. It lets you monitor computers running macOS, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, AIX, Solaris, and other BSD/Linux based OS’s. In order to view the stats of your Macs and PCs, firstly, you’ll have to download and install iStat server application on your computer from Bjango’s Site. Installation process is quite simple. iStat View connects to iStat Server securely over the internet or via Bonjour.I really like the User Interface of the app. Accent colour chosen for the app is perfect. I absolutely love the icons used for servers and devices, they look beautiful. I also love the kind of treatment Marc has given to the toggles and buttons in the app, they look absolutely stunning and pixel perfect. Icon of the app is beautiful and detailed as well.

The main screen of iStat view 3 lists all your available devices. You can add a new one by hitting the + button and entering the Name, Address, and Port. Connection to your Mac, PC, or server should be made automatically by the iStat Server app running on your computer. The first connection to a computer will ask you for a confirmation 5-digit PIN that is being displayed by iStat Server on the desktop: add it and you are ready to roll.

iStat View home and adding servers

You can access a server by tapping on it and you’ll be taken to the stats home. Here, all the system stats are displayed that includes CPU, memory, disk space, network usage, temperatures, fan speeds etc. You can tap on these stats to go the detailed view, where all the information will be provided in a detailed manner. All the sensors with their temperature is displayed and units of temperature can also be toggled. There are graphs for a variety of information such as CPU load and Network usage. They update in real time – this is really useful to check when the machine is under heavy load like running a game or streaming over the Internet. All the programs running on the machine are displayed under the graph. History view displays stats over time for the past Hour, 24 Hour, 7 Days, 30 Days, 3 months, 6 months, and year. I really love the amount of information iStat displays once set up.

Stats home, graphs, and history view.

iStat View also contains the handy network tools, ping and traceroute. The list of servers are synced across your iOS devices and Macs via iCloud. In my testing it worked quite satisfactorily. I just wish they bring back the ability to view the stats of iOS devices.

I really like iStat View, it is a beautiful remote monitoring app. It helps me Keep an eye on my PC ,beautifully and reliably. If you are into stats, iStat view is going to be a treasure house for you. iStat View is available on the App Store for only $4.99.
