To analyze the resources consumed in OS X has a built-in utility "Activity Monitor", but run it whenever you need to know the amount of free memory and CPU usage, terribly uncomfortable. With the widget VitalSigns from this and other useful information you will have to separate just one swipe.
With the release of OS X Yosemite began to appear a lot of different widgets for Mac monitoring system components, but most of them were either too simple or too expensive.

One might complain about the small number of display settings and monitored parameters, but let's not forget that a free widget. Taking this into account, as well as the fact that VitalSigns hardly consumes resources, I can safely recommend it to all who need a simple tool to monitor essential resources Mac.
