Set it up
- List the numbers you look at daily in the old app. Leave the rest.
- Add one Multimeter meter for each with Add Meter… (Command-N in the menu).
- Pick faces. Sparkline is closest to the line graphs in iStat Menus, Stats and MenuMeters; Label & Value to plain text.
- Set warning and critical levels and turn on notifications where you want them.
- Save the set as a theme so you can switch to a different set later (say, a quiet one for presentations).
- Turn off the matching items in the old app so nothing is measured twice. Keep it for anything Multimeter doesn’t have.
Check it worked
Your menu bar shows the same numbers as before, and the old app only shows what Multimeter doesn’t.
