gauge 1.2.2

The lists scroll now, and Storage has a quicker switch.

• Memory and CPU show your top 25 apps instead of 8, and Storage up to 40 items instead of 7. Scroll to see the rest
• Switch between all items, apps, files and folders with one click on an icon, instead of a menu

If you're on 1.2.1, gauge updates itself within a day. Otherwise unzip gauge.zip and drag gauge.app to Applications. Runs on macOS 13 or later, Apple silicon and Intel. It's signed and notarized, so it opens like any other app.

gauge 1.2.1

gauge keeps itself up to date now, and explains Full Disk Access before asking for it.

• Once a day gauge checks for a new release here. If there is one, it installs it and restarts, so this is the last version you need to download yourself
• The Storage tab says why Full Disk Access helps, what gauge reads and how to turn it on. Once it's allowed, the scan starts on its own
• Lighter: 13 MB of memory at launch instead of 20, 44% less CPU when idle, and the app is half the size (1.2 MB)

Unzip gauge.zip and drag gauge.app to Applications. Runs on macOS 13 or later, Apple silicon and Intel. It's signed and notarized, so it opens like any other app.

gauge 1.2

New CPU & GPU tab, next to Memory and Storage.

• Total CPU used across your cores, split into user and system, plus current GPU utilization
• Your top apps and command line tools by CPU. Each row shows its share of the whole machine, so they add up to the total. Click one to switch to it, hover to quit it
• Right-click the icon > Menu Bar to also show CPU and GPU bars next to memory and disk. The icon updates every 2 seconds while one of them is showing, every 5 otherwise
• gauge has its own app icon now

Unzip gauge.zip and drag gauge.app to Applications. Runs on macOS 13 or later, Apple silicon and Intel. It's signed and notarized, so it opens like any other app.

gauge 1.1

Runs on macOS 13 (Ventura) or later now, on Apple silicon and Intel. Nothing else changes.

Two small things work differently on macOS 13 - the left and right arrow keys don't switch between Memory and Storage, and clicking a row selects it. On 14 and later both work like before.

Unzip gauge.zip and drag gauge.app to Applications. It's signed and notarized, so it opens like any other app.

gauge 1.0

First release.

Unzip gauge.zip and drag gauge.app to Applications. Runs on macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel. It's signed and notarized, so it opens like any other app.

For a complete storage scan, give gauge Full Disk Access - the Storage tab has a button that takes you to the right spot in System Settings.
