What is GeekTool FOR MAC?

GeekTool

GeekTool is a super handy PrefPane (that’s a System Preferences module) for Panther or Jaguar. It helps you show off cool stuff like system logs, the output from Unix commands, or even images right on your desktop—yes, right in front of all your windows!

Monitor Your MacOS X Activity

You can use File mode to keep an eye on MacOS X activities. You’ll get live updates from /var/tmp/console.log or /var/log/system.log. Or if you're feeling adventurous, switch to Shell mode! This lets you run custom scripts or commands. For example, type df to check how much space is left on your filesystems or use uptime to see how loaded your machine is.

Check Out Image Mode

If you want to keep tabs on things like bandwidth usage, CPU loads, and memory availability of your server, Image mode has got you covered. You can do this using tools like MRTG or RRD, making it super easy to monitor everything at a glance.

The Three Modes of GeekTool

So here’s the deal: GeekTool lets you display three different types of info right on your desktop: Log files, Commands, and Pictures. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to stay organized and informed without flipping through multiple windows.
