Stats puts configurable CPU, GPU, memory, disk, network, battery, sensor, and other modules in the menu bar. Battery Hog narrows the surface to a question: what is shortening this unplugged session, and which workload might explain it?
| Priority | Battery Hog | Stats |
|---|---|---|
| Broad sensor telemetry | Not the goal | Strong fit |
| Menu-bar customization | Battery-focused | Extensive modules |
| Development workload grouping | Core feature | Not the primary model |
| Battery history and sleep blockers | Investigation-oriented | Broader monitoring context |
| Thermal alerts with likely workload | Core workflow | Different focus |
| Open source | MIT | Open source |
Choose Stats if
You want a customizable cockpit for many hardware and operating-system signals, especially persistent menu-bar telemetry.
Choose Battery Hog if
You mainly care about unplugged runtime, development projects, sleep blockers, and an explanation when recent work coincides with rising thermal pressure.
There is no need to pick a winner. Stats can stay your broad monitor while Battery Hog is the focused tool you open for a battery investigation.
