Since then, many people contributed pull requests, most of which have been incorporated. I'm making here a minimal modification so that it runs as a faceless app, putting NSStatusItem's instead of NSMenuExtra's. The original version does not work on El Capitan and later, due to the fact that SystemUIServer doesn't load Menu Extras not signed by Apple any longer.
It's a great utility originally developed at. If you'd like your version mentioned here, please tell me at the issues page.

If you run sufficiently new mac OS, try one of Other versions & related open source softwares: The detailed installation instruction is given in the former.

If you just want to use it, please go to or and download the binary. I think I'll do this tonight.My fork of MenuMeters for El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur. It takes a good deal of time on my system, so I start it before going to bed.

and more free space helps it work better. Also enough empty space since iDefrag uses swap files on the disc it boots from during defragging. I have a partition on a separate physical drive I call "Utility Boot Partition" and it is a bootable partition with just a basic system and utilities like iDefrag, Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner and Disk Warrior on it. I also use iDefrag (although not recently and your post is changing my mind about that), and until recently I don't think defragging the volume you booted from was supported. Is there a particular reason you choose to defrag your system disk from another disk? I keep a second OS on a partition there that I use for testing updates as well.

Maybe that's why I underestimated the benefits of defragmenting my Laptop. I never let my studio machines get that fragmented, of course. Opening apps now doesn't take for ever, and the Menu Meters' disk usage meter doesn't show constant disk access for "no reason" anymore. A totally dramatic difference.Ĭonservatively, I estimate that this made a 50% increase in overall performance. It took the computer like 4-5 hours to finish. There were holes and red sectors all over the place. When I opened iDefrag, I laughed out loud when I saw its estimation. NO WONDER! The disk was so fragmented it was looking for bits and pieces of files all over the slow encrypted disk. Even a stupid new Safari window would take up to 15-20 seconds to open.Īnd then it came to me. Every time I opened something it took for ever. just selecting a photo made the disk spin like crazy. Yesterday I was doing a photo collage, and it was just impossible to work like this. I got used to this at the same pace, and started getting more annoyed every week. Add to this that a couple of months ago I re-arranged most of my file system, and I must've deleted or moved around 100 GB worth of info.ĭuring the last 6 months or so, the computer performance started to diminish little by little, so it was not obvious. Also, my HD is encrypted, which makes performance take a hit.
It's an early Intel model, so it's not the fastest there is. I don't know why, but the only computer I had never defragmented is my "office work" MacBook Pro.
