## Description

Stats is a system performance monitor that tracks real-time hardware metrics and resource usage directly from the operating system menu bar. It functions as a hardware control interface, allowing users to adjust fan speeds and thermal settings to maintain optimal performance levels for computing hardware.

The application distinguishes itself through kernel-level sensor polling, which retrieves telemetry by interfacing directly with low-level system drivers and power management APIs. It provides remote infrastructure oversight via a web-based telemetry dashboard, enabling users to view live performance statistics for connected computers from any standard internet browser using persistent network connections.

The tool includes a modular plugin architecture that allows for the selective disabling of background monitoring tasks to optimize resource usage and reduce energy consumption. It also features cross-platform hardware abstraction to normalize sensor data across different processor architectures, ensuring consistent display and control.

Users can customize their experience through local-first configuration persistence and the ability to reorder menu bar icons. The software also integrates with external services to perform automatic update checks and retrieve network connectivity information.
