New in MONIT 2.0 (Feb 17, 2019)

  • A small Monit Helper program is needed for the cool stuff in this release. The Helper program is free and can be downloaded from our Web-Pages. Here is a summary of changes in this version.
  • New: Show CPU and GPU Temperature
  • New: Show and animate Fan speed. The fan icon correlates rotation with the physical fan rpm
  • New: Report CPU and Memory usage for the top 5 Processes that use most resources. [*]
  • New: Show Processes using Disk i/o. [*]
  • New: Show Time on Battery since Boot for MacBooks.
  • Fixed: Support for both macOS High Sierra 10.13 and Mojave 10.14
  • Fixed: UI and DarkMode improvements
  • * With the Helper, the 'top five lists' of processes using CPU, Memory and Disk i/o is exact and include all processes running on the system. Values are aggregated into the parent process so it is possible to, for instance, see how much Memory Safari is using by including all its sub-processes.

New in MONIT 1.1.1 (Oct 7, 2016)

  • New: Colors. The new white background in MacOS Sierra Notification Center makes it a challenge to create a nice UI that is easy to read at a glance. A monitoring widget needs a dark background, in our opinion. We therefor use a background color that we think best suits the widget, but perhaps not Notification Center as a whole. We hope you'll give it a chance.
  • New: Persistent UI. Expanded rows will remain expanded on restart
  • New: Thermometer for overall system temperature. Please note that an AppStore App is not allowed to read sensor data which means we cannot show detailed temperatures. To do that, we would have to create a non-sandboxed "helper app" which you had to download outside of the App Store. We want to play within the rules, so Monit's thermometer is limited to displaying the total thermal state of the system. We hope you agree with us that it is still quite useful. There are 4 thermal levels; normal, fair (fans running), serious and critical. See also known issues
  • New: Top-3 Lists of Applications using most Memory and CPU. Click an App in the list to switch to that App. Open Activity Monitor by clicking its icon. See known issues for limitations
  • New: S.M.A.R.T. Status and Temperature for Disk's that support SMART
  • New: Power Usage in Watt when running on Battery. Click the label to show a popup with other electrical units
  • New: More information in popup menus and a new Uptime popup menu
