SMARTastic 1.1.0 is a native macOS app for understanding SSD and HDD health and tracking current write volume.

Highlights

  • Reliable JSON-based SMART readings for Apple SSDs, NVMe and ATA drives, with honest unavailable values and clear failure/warning states.
  • Daily write-volume charts for 7, 30 and 90 days, based on real counter differences and calendar timestamps. History begins with your first measurement; missing days are not invented.
  • A refreshed native interface with compact metrics, a transparent window header, circular macOS actions and a system-aware sun/moon appearance switch.
  • Interactive chart detail cards, contextual button explanations and easier-to-open diagnostic sections.
  • Drive search with Escape to clear, selectable automatic refresh intervals, and JSON snapshot export without serial-number fields.
  • Command-W minimizes the window while measurements continue; Command-Q quits.
  • English, German, French, Spanish and Simplified Chinese.

Install

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. The Universal app supports Apple Silicon and Intel and is Developer-ID signed and notarized by Apple.

brew install --cask localfoundry/tap/smartastic

Homebrew installs smartmontools automatically. For manual installation, download and extract SMARTastic-1.1.0.zip, move SMARTastic.app to Applications, and install smartmontools with Homebrew.

Keep the app running with automatic refresh enabled to collect history. SMART access depends on the drive and adapter. SMART power-on hours may exclude low-power time and should not be treated as the drive's calendar age. SMART health information is not a prediction of the exact failure date.

The accompanying SHA-256 file verifies the final ZIP. Source commit: 406e504cf861a26d1833e40d75c533aa5bc40368.
