Pulse — System Monitor

Pulse keeps your Mac’s vital signs in the menu bar: CPU, memory, GPU, disk, network and battery, one click away.

30 DAYS OF HISTORY Chart any metric over 12 hours, a day, a week or a month, with its average and its peak.

IN YOUR MENU BAR, YOUR WAY Show an icon, a live value, a small graph or two stacked metrics. The icon can turn orange while your Mac is under strain.

ALERTS YOU CAN ACT ON Get notified when memory pressure rises or the battery runs low.

EVERY CORE, LIVE CPU usage per core, grouped into efficiency and performance cores, with user and system time and the load average.

MEMORY Memory pressure and what memory holds: apps, wired, compressed and cached.

NETWORK Download and upload speed, Wi-Fi signal, channel and standard, your local and public IP addresses, and a speed test that uses Apple’s own servers, only when you run it.

BATTERY Health, charge cycles, power draw and time remaining.

AND ALSO GPU usage and memory. Free disk space and live disk reads and writes. A global keyboard shortcut to open Pulse from anywhere.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no analytics, no calls home. The speed test and the public IP lookup run only when you click them.

Requires macOS 14 or later.
