MacPulse

MacPulse provides real‑time monitoring of macOS hardware and software metrics through a single dashboard that aggregates CPU, memory, network, disk, thermal, fan, battery, and GPU data. It records performance sessions at one‑second intervals, allowing users to capture detailed traces of intensive tasks such as gaming, rendering, or debugging, and export the data for external analysis.

The built‑in Insights Engine automatically analyzes the collected metrics and generates plain‑English summaries with actionable recommendations, covering topics like thermal throttling, memory pressure, disk health, and battery drain. These explanations are intended to help users understand system behavior without needing technical jargon.

Designed for macOS Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe, the application offers historical analytics over a 30‑day window, menu‑bar sparklines, custom curves, and desktop widgets, enabling users to track trends, compare sessions, and receive alerts about performance anomalies.
