Mac Live – Mac monitor

Mac Live shows the state of your Mac live on your Android phone, and warns you when something goes wrong.

WHAT YOU SEE, ABOUT EVERY TWO SECONDS
• CPU and GPU temperatures
• Processor: usage, frequency of the efficiency and performance cores, load
• Memory, memory moved to disk, disk space
• Battery: charge, health, charge cycles, mains power; total power draw
• Time Machine: date of the last backup
• Connections: USB devices, Bluetooth devices, displays
• The busiest processes

HISTORY
Curves for the last 5 minutes, hour or 24 hours: processor temperature, processor usage and power draw. Your Mac keeps the last 24 hours, one point per minute, and sends them when you open the app.

ALERTS, EVEN WHEN THE APP IS CLOSED
• Processor at 95 °C or more for one minute
• Disk 90 % full
• Mac switched to battery, battery below 15 %
• No Time Machine backup for 30 days
• Mac unreachable, then back online

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up

• End-to-end encryption (AES-256-GCM): the relay that carries the readings cannot read them
• The keys are exchanged only through the QR code and stay on your Mac and your phone
