The first release of Barograph, a menu bar system monitor for Apple silicon that records the last 24 hours and explains what happened.
Menu bar
- Separate items for CPU, Memory, Network, Sensors, and Battery, plus an optional compact item for notched displays.
- Five drawn styles: glyph and value, sparkline, tiny bar, two-line stacked, and mini pie.
- A popover for every item: live minute, key numbers, and the five busiest processes.
Window
- Overview dashboard with tiles you can reorder, plus pages for CPU, GPU and Neural Engine, Memory, Disk, Network, Sensors, Battery and Power, and Processes.
- Performance and efficiency clusters shown apart, with frequency and power where macOS allows it.
- Command palette (⌘K) for pages, history ranges, menu bar items, and settings.
History and Insights
- Optional history: the last 24 hours at 10-second resolution, with marks for throttling, sleep and wake, charger, Low Power Mode, and anomalies.
- Plain-language explanations for CPU and power anomalies, fan spin-ups, throttling, memory leaks, and memory pressure, computed on your Mac.
- Alert rules with optional notifications.
Integrations
- Desktop widgets: Metric (small) and Overview (medium and large).
- Shortcuts and Spotlight actions: Get Metric, Get System Summary, Explain What’s Unusual, and Open Barograph Page.
- Optional local metrics endpoint for Prometheus, bound to this Mac only.
