SystemPulse

SystemPulse is a native macOS monitor designed to provide clear insight into resource usage for modern development and advanced computing workflows. Unlike standard Activity Monitor, it identifies and labels processes from applications like Claude Code, MCP servers, and various IDE helpers, giving you precise visibility into what consumes your Mac's RAM and CPU. Key features include: one-click process termination, intelligent cache cleanup, an MCP server inspector for detailed process breakdowns, and graceful bulk-quitting of applications. It runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon machines (Universal binary) and is notarized by Apple for security, requiring macOS 13 or newer. This utility is built for developers, researchers, and power users who work with resource-intensive applications. It transforms obscure process lists into actionable information, helping you manage system performance more effectively and reclaim valuable resources. With SystemPulse, understand your system's performance at a glance and maintain a responsive computing environment. Available in a free, open-source Lite version or a Pro subscription with additional advanced features.
