System Lens

System Lens is a handy tool that lets you keep an eye on how your Mac is using its resources right from your status bar. It shows you the resource usage status with a simple icon, and if you're curious, it offers a detailed list of what’s using the most resources. You can even quickly shut down any apps that are hogging power!

Why Monitor Your Mac’s Resources?

High resource usage can really drain your Mac's battery faster and make it run hotter, which isn’t great for performance. With System Lens, you can easily check in and make sure you’re not pushing your Mac too hard.

User-Friendly Labels

This app breaks down resource usage for each application and gives them easy-to-understand labels: none, low, medium, or high. Each label has its own icon to help you spot what's what at a glance. If you prefer numbers, you can switch to a numbered menu instead!

Simplified App Management

If you see an app that's using too many resources and think it's time to let it go, you can quickly shut it down right from the System Lens menulet—just remember to save your work first!

Create Custom Filters

The Preferences window in System Lens makes it super easy to set up your own filters. You can ignore certain apps or choose not to see those with specific usage labels like low, medium, or high.

Adjusting Thresholds

You can also define custom limits for resource usage by simply moving a slider for each label type. Want to use less of System Lens? Just disable the checking function when you don’t need it!

A Smart Resource Evaluator

System Lens offers an intuitive way to evaluate resource usage and helps you shut down those pesky heavy consumers quickly. Since it's a status bar menulet, it stays out of your way while still being super accessible whenever you need it.
