System stats beside your MacBook's notch

Three small bars and your network speed beside the MacBook notch: CPU, GPU and RAM by default. Click and a panel drops out of the notch with battery, power, disk and swap. No notch? It sits in the menu bar. No dependencies, no network connections. Free, MIT.

Hi, I'm Tobias. I made tinyStats because I wanted to see what my Mac is doing without a row of colourful widgets in the menu bar.
The space next to the notch is empty anyway, so that's where it goes: three bars and one more metric. A click opens the rest. The panel grows out of the notch seamlessly, so it reads as part of the hardware and not as a window.
Most of my time went into how it looks: the curves where the panel meets the notch, the spacing, the animation. Everything else is small on purpose: about 1,900 lines of Swift, no dependencies, no network connections.
What it doesn't do: temperatures, fan speeds, history graphs, a process list. If you need those, Stats or iStat Menus are the better fit.
It's free and open source (MIT). The download is signed and notarized, and there's a Homebrew formula.
One question for you: which metric would you put on the three bars?
