Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

Purpose-built from the ground up using modern Swift frameworks for modern Mac workflows.

⚡

Adaptive Polling Architecture

Engineered with intelligent lifecycle hooks: when the dashboard popover is closed, background process scanning and heavy sensors pause automatically, reducing idle CPU usage to 0.0% – 0.5%.

📊

Live CPU & GPU Telemetry

High-precision utilization metrics, CPU Performance vs. Efficiency core breakdown (e.g. 8P+2E), GPU core count, hardware thermal sensors, and smooth Catmull-Rom historical area curves.

🛑

Top Apps & Safe Force Quit

Real-time inspection of top CPU-heavy and memory-consuming applications with native app icons. Terminate unresponsive apps instantly, protected by a safety confirmation modal.

🚦

Dynamic Color Warnings

Color-coded visual alerts that intelligently update as hardware load increases: Normal (<70%), Yellow (≥70%), Orange (≥80%), and Red (≥90%) across Menu Bar, Dashboard, and Process lists.

🔋

Real-Time Power Wattage

Measures live power draw and charging rates in Watts (XX.X W) directly from the Apple Silicon PMU and AppleSmartBattery, with power source detection and battery runtime estimates.

🔔

Smart Battery Charger Reminders

Sends native macOS Notification Center alerts with audio when battery drops below 50% (Notice), 40% (Warning), and ≤30% (Critical) to help preserve battery lifespan.

🗄️

Multi-Partition Storage Tracking

Automatically scans and monitors all internal user volumes and disk partitions. Features modern Apple capsule progress bars with linear gradients and dynamic low-space warning indicators.

🌐

True Network Throughput

Monitors genuine physical network adapters (Wi-Fi, Ethernet) using macOS Dynamic Store, ensuring active VPN tunnels never inflate or distort your real physical bandwidth.

🧠

Honest RAM Allocation

Displays actual memory used versus total system capacity (X.X GB / Y.Y GB), eliminating confusing percentages caused by macOS aggressive file-cache caching algorithms.

🎛️

Customizable Menu Bar & Settings

Toggle CPU %, Network speeds, or display a minimal gauge icon on your Menu Bar. Access a dedicated Settings panel (⚙️) with smooth transitions to tailor every parameter.

🌍

11 Built-in Languages

Switch seamlessly between 11 languages with zero app restarts: 🇬🇧 English, 🇩🇪 Deutsch, 🇫🇷 Français, 🇪🇸 Español, 🇵🇹 Português, 🇹🇷 Türkçe, 🇯🇵 日本語, 🇰🇷 한국어, 🇲🇽 Español (MX), 🇩🇰 Dansk, 🇻🇳 Tiếng Việt.

🚀

Native Login Autostart

Clean autostart management using Apple's official ServiceManagement framework. No legacy helper daemons or invasive background agents left behind.
