Aman Check 1.1.0

Runs on macOS 13 Ventura, reads the sensors, and tests more of the Mac. Feedback from Reddit and from real Macs.

  • macOS 13 Ventura and later (was 14). MacBook Pro, MacBook and iMac 2017 are now covered.
  • Sensors: number of fans, fan speed and processor temperature (read only, no password), shown live on the first screen.
  • New guided tests: lid sensor (sleep and wake detected automatically), ambient light sensor (shine a phone flashlight on the top of the screen; the app reads the sensor in lux when the Mac allows it) and keyboard backlight.
  • Desktop Macs: optional keyboard and trackpad tests for the accessories that come with an iMac or a Mac mini. A test done goes into the report; a test not done is not counted.
  • Sharing: Share button (AirDrop, Messages, Mail) and an offline QR code on the first page of the PDF with a plain-text summary, no link. Can be turned off in Settings.
  • Fixes: the built-in camera of T2 Macs is no longer taken for an external one; the speaker test was redone (an audible sweep, then a short quiz that runs on its own); Touch ID resumes once a fingerprint is added; Touch Bar zones fit beside the Control Strip.
  • First launch: a short notice says what the app does and doesn't do.

Readings specific to Apple silicon and to desktop Macs are not yet verified on real hardware. Reports are welcome in the issues.

Help get Aman Check signed by Apple

The warning below goes away once the app is signed and notarized, which takes the Apple Developer Program ($99 a year). Donations on Ko-fi go toward it first.

Installation

  1. Download Aman-Check-1.1.0.dmg below, open it and drag Aman Check into Applications.
  2. The app isn't signed with an Apple Developer ID, so macOS blocks it the first time. On macOS 15 or later, go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. On macOS 13 or 14, Control-click the app and choose Open. All the steps are in How to Install.txt and in the README.

macOS 13 or later · Apple Silicon and Intel (universal binary)
