// FOR MAC AND WINDOWS
Desktop apps I use every day myself. For now there is one: Pulse, a system monitor. It comes in a Mac version and a Windows version.
macOS 15+ · Apple Silicon and Intel
Processor, graphics, memory, disk, network, temperatures, fans and battery in the menu bar. Up to 30 days of history, fan control, notifications and a widget.
version 1.13.1 · .dmg file · 5.6 MB · source on GitHub ↗
Windows 10 and 11 · x64 and ARM
Processor, memory, graphics, temperatures, network, disks and battery as icons next to the clock. Click one for a panel with charts and the processes that load the computer most.
version 0.4.0 · .exe installer · about 45 MB · ARM version
Have a Mac and a Windows PC? Pulse on the Mac shows the PC in the “Other computers” panel, and PulseWin shows the Mac. You see load, memory, temperature and the processes that load that computer most.
There is nothing to set up, the computers find each other. Just turn on sharing of readings on each one. The data never leaves the local network.
I write about where Pulse came from and how it works in the journal.
