System monitor widgets free#

Vidgets is a collection of small, icon based widgets. In the space of Wdgts’ battery widget I can fit the entire SnapStats widget, which gives me a lot more information. While they do look good, my only complaint is that each widget takes up a lot of space in the Notification Center, which matters. If you’re willing to pay for the premium version of Wdgts (which costs $0.99) you get access to three widgets: battery, memory, and network monitoring. Wdgts was one of my favorite widgets when iOS 8 was released. IMonitor is a simple widget that tracks three things in real time – memory, storage and CPU.

If you’re looking for a free app with this functionality, keep an eye on SnapStats. I’ve talked about an app below that does cell data tracking well, but it’s a paid app. The developer has promised features like cell data consumption based on prepaid/post-paid bill cycles, support for an iPad app and more. It’s a great way to look at available storage and Wi-Fi use without scrolling too much.Īccording to the developer, SnapStats was born out of frustration (like many great apps are) for a lack of a good, free and useful system monitoring app. You can tap on the different tabs to get information. The widget doesn’t take more than a third of your screen. It gives you access to a lot of data (more will be coming with updates) and it does it in a way that’s actually useful. And all of this right in the Notification Center, where this juicy data is just one swipe away from anywhere. Let’s talk about the cool widgets that bring you all the juicy details about your device, RAM, CPU, Wi-Fi, cell data, battery, and a lot more. While normal people might see iOS 8 as “just another update”, we see it differently. I think it’s fair to say that widgets in the Notifications Center are one of the best features of iOS 8 (up there with extension support), at least for nerds.
