The VitalSigns app for the Apple Mac is a system monitor that displays the most important data with just one click from the menu bar. These include, for example: B. the fan revolutions, the temperatures of the processor (CPU), graphics card (GPU), battery and heat sink as well as the utilization of the main memory (RAM). The free program can not only be used to display the values individually; you can also set notifications in the event that a specific component exceeds a value set as a limit. VitalSigns 3 is made for macOS 11 Big Sur; for older systems such as macOS 10.15 Catalina you can download the previous version.
