Watch Your Mac Performance at a Glance

When your Mac is working hard, you want to see what is happening.

A build is running.

A video is exporting.

A large batch job is processing.

A game or 3D app is using the GPU.

Memory starts filling up.

The fans get louder.

Core Meter gives you a quick view of the important performance signals on your Mac.

See CPU core usage, per-core load, temperature, GPU activity, and memory usage in one focused utility.

CPU cores, GPU, temperature, memory

Core Meter is built for people who want to understand how their Mac is behaving while work is running.

Use it when you want to:

  • watch CPU core usage
  • see per-core load
  • monitor temperature
  • check GPU activity
  • keep an eye on memory usage
  • understand whether your Mac is idle, busy, hot, or under pressure
