# System Stats Monitor

> Display live CPU and RAM usage next to your cursor with configurable colors and visualization styles.

<Warning>
  **This is an experimental feature.** To use it, enable **"Preview new and experimental features"** in Settings → More. [Learn more →](/experimental/overview)
</Warning>

The System Stats monitor shows live CPU and RAM usage right next to your cursor. It's useful for keeping an eye on resource consumption without opening Activity Monitor or Task Manager.

## What's Displayed

* **CPU usage** — Aggregate percentage across all cores.
* **RAM usage** — Percentage used, along with used and total gigabytes.

## Visualization Style

Configure the display style in **Settings → System Stats**:

| Style              | Description                                              |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Bars** (default) | Horizontal bar graphs for CPU and RAM.                   |
| **Arcs**           | Circular arc gauges for CPU and RAM.                     |
| **Per-core**       | Individual bars for each CPU core, plus a RAM bar.       |
| **Sparkline**      | Rolling line graphs showing CPU and RAM usage over time. |

## Appearance

Customize colors in **Settings → System Stats** using the color pickers or by entering a hex value directly:

* **CPU Color** — Default: blue (`#60a5fa`)
* **RAM Color** — Default: purple (`#a78bfa`)
* **Background Color** — Default: dark translucent (`#000000c2`)

## Element Order

System Stats appears in the [element order](/features/element-ordering) list only when experimental features are enabled. You can drag it to reposition it relative to the clock, notification icons, and timers.
