Know what your Mac
is working on.
CPU and GPU activity, memory, disk, network and temperature each have a place in one panel. Graphs show how things change, not just where they stand.

Installation, compatibility and permissions.
Which macOS versions are supported?
v5xs supports macOS 14 and later. Apple Silicon and Intel builds are available; pick the DMG for your Mac on the GitHub Releases page.
What if macOS blocks the first launch?
The current build uses an ad-hoc signature. If Gatekeeper shows a warning on first install, allow v5xs under System Settings → Privacy & Security.
Will it restart automatically to update?
That's up to you. Automatic checking, downloading and restart-to-install each have their own switch. With automatic restart off, click “Update and Restart” when the update is ready.
Is temperature available on every Mac?
Temperature readings have been verified on Mac14,2. On other models, unavailable readings are shown as such; the other monitoring features continue to work.
