System Insights is Activity Monitor reimagined as a gorgeous, native SwiftUI dashboard with historical analytics and a menu bar companion.
REAL-TIME MONITORING
Track your Mac's performance across six key modules — all updated live with minimal resource impact:
- CPU: Total and per-core usage with P-core and E-core differentiation on Apple Silicon
- Memory: Usage breakdown showing wired, compressed, cached, and free memory with pressure level
- GPU: Device name and memory usage via Metal
- Disk: Volume usage for all mounted drives with real-time I/O activity indicators
- Network: Per-interface throughput for Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and other connections
- Battery: Charge level, power source, time remaining, health status, and cycle count
BEAUTIFUL DASHBOARD
An adaptive grid layout shows all modules at once, or dive into any module for detailed charts and stats. The sidebar gives you instant
access to every metric.
HISTORICAL ANALYTICS
MacPulse records your system data over time so you can spot trends and patterns:
- View 1-hour, 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day history charts
- Data is automatically downsampled for efficient long-term storage
- Export any time range to CSV for further analysis
PERFORMANCE SESSIONS
Record and analyze performance during gaming, rendering, or any intensive task:
- Capture FPS, frame time, CPU usage, and memory at 1-second intervals
- Review session summaries with average FPS, 1% lows, and frame time stats
- Compare sessions side by side
- Export session data to CSV
INSIGHTS ENGINE
Get plain-English summaries of your system's behavior — peak usage hours, memory pressure trends, network anomalies, and battery drain
patterns.
MENU BAR COMPANION
A compact popover lives in your menu bar with mini gauges for CPU, memory, disk, network, and battery. Customize which modules appear.
Access your full dashboard with one click.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Latency monitor: current latency, average, jitter and packet loss, with a one-hour chart that marks
outages. It only measures while the Network view is open, unless you turn on background monitoring in
Settings.
• Power flow: live watts from the charger, what your Mac is consuming, and whether the battery is
charging or discharging.
• Charger alert: get notified when your Mac is plugged in but the battery keeps draining because the
charger can't keep up.
• Keyboard shortcuts: jump to any view with ⌘1–⌘9 and ⌘0. The shortcuts are listed in the View menu.
