Core Status: CPU Monitor
Live CPU & GPU core meters
Only for Mac
$2.99
Mac
See every core of your Mac light up in real time. A gorgeous, resizable CPU & GPU core meter — click to switch CPU, GPU, or both. Auto-detects your chip and cores.
Core Status turns your Mac's activity into a beautiful, glanceable core meter.
See every CPU core light up in real time as a crisp LED-style display — one column per core, updating live. It automatically detects your Mac's chip and the exact number of cores, with nothing to set up.
FLEXIBLE & RESIZABLE
Unlike the fixed-size system monitor, Core Status resizes to whatever you want — shrink it into a slim strip along the edge of your screen, or blow it up big. The display scales beautifully at any size.
CPU, GPU, OR BOTH — ONE CLICK
Click the window to switch between your CPU cores, your GPU cores, or both at once. In the combined view, click again to swap which sits on top. Prefer a different look? Toggle between crisp LED lines and a dot-matrix grid.
FEATURES
• One column per real core — live per-core CPU utilization
• GPU view shows your GPU core count and overall GPU load
• Fully resizable — from a tiny strip to full size
• Click to switch CPU / GPU / Both; right-click for quick options
• Auto-detects your chip, model, and core counts
• Clean, auto-hiding title bar for a tidy desktop widget
• Two styles: LED lines or dot-matrix grid
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Core Status reads your Mac's performance stats locally and shows them — that's it. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no network. Nothing ever leaves your Mac.
DEMO VIDEO: A 50-second screen recording captured on this Mac is attached in the Attachment field above. It begins at launch and shows the live per-core CPU meter, clicking to switch CPU / GPU / CPU+GPU (and swap), and dragging to resize from a compact strip to a large view.
