Mac system monitor: understand every slowdown

A practical overview of processor load, memory pressure, graphics activity and disk capacity — all measured on the Mac, not estimated by a cloud service.

Start with the overview

Look at CPU activity, GPU utilization, memory use and available storage together. A single high percentage does not necessarily mean a problem: examine the surrounding workload and whether the spike persists.

Understand where each number comes from

CPU usage is based on macOS processor accounting; memory and swap reflect system statistics. GPU readings depend on information published by the particular Mac. Missing or unsupported readings are shown as unavailable rather than invented.

Drill into busy processes

Sort processes by CPU or resident memory, inspect identity and ownership, and confirm whether the app is performing a legitimate task before taking action. Safe termination requires a separate explicit confirmation.

Compare samples, not isolated numbers

Select a time window and look for patterns. If the computer feels slow but CPU is calm, memory pressure, storage availability, or disk activity may be more useful leads.

What to know before relying on this feature

Available readings differ between Mac models and macOS versions. MacClue is a diagnostic aid, not a hardware certification or repair tool.

See for yourself

Download the verified beta and compare its readings with macOS Activity Monitor and System Settings. Results depend on your model and permissions.
