Monitor

What the Mac is doing, right now.

CPU, memory with swap and pressure, network, storage and battery health on the left; every port something is listening on and the busiest processes on the right, with a way to stop either. The same numbers live in the menu bar.

DiskBuddy Monitor room with CPU, memory, network, storage, battery, listening ports and top processes.
  • Battery charge, time left, health, cycles, temperature and draw
  • Listening ports with the process behind each, and a Stop button
  • A menu bar item with the quick view, always one click away

How it works

01

The machine, live

CPU with a history, memory with swap and pressure, network up and down, storage per volume, all updating every couple of seconds.

02

Battery, properly

Charge, time left, health, cycle count, temperature and how many watts it is drawing or taking in, on Macs with a battery.

03

Ports, with a Stop button

Every port something is listening on, the process behind it and who owns it. The port a stuck dev server is holding is one click from free.

04

In the menu bar too

Free space sits in the menu bar. Click it for the drive, CPU, memory, battery, network, the busiest processes and the listening ports, with Scan one press away.

Questions about Monitor

How do I free a port that is already in use?+

Open Monitor, find the port in Listening ports and press Stop. DiskBuddy asks the process to quit, and only processes you own can be stopped.

Does the monitor slow my Mac down?+

No. It reads the same counters Activity Monitor does, a few times a minute, and only while the screen or the menu bar popover is open.

Can I turn off the menu bar item?+

Yes, in Settings. With it off, closing the window quits DiskBuddy as usual.
