v1.0.0
A native macOS menu bar system monitor. Apple Silicon (arm64) only.
Install
-
Download the
.zipbelow and unzip it. -
Move
Pulse.appto/Applications. -
Remove the quarantine flag, then open it:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Pulse.app open /Applications/Pulse.app
Pulse looks in your menu bar — it has no Dock icon. Quit via "Quit Pulse"
in its dropdown.
The
xattrstep is needed because the build is ad-hoc signed, not
notarized (no paid Apple Developer account). It is not malware — the
full source is in this repo; you can also build it yourself with
make run.
Notes
- Apple Silicon only. Intel Macs are not supported by this binary;
build from source instead. The Intel sensor paths were written from
references and have not been verified on real Intel hardware. - Requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or newer.
