Activity Monitor 1.6.1 makes process diagnostic tables easier to read in compact windows.

Improved

  • Threads, open files, connections, memory maps, mapped images, Mach ports and fileports show a focused set of columns by default.
  • Default columns fit the available window width, with more space for names, paths and endpoints.
  • Right-click a header to show additional fields, fit columns to the window or restore the default layout.
  • Custom column widths and ordering are retained. Wider custom layouts still support horizontal scrolling with both scrollbars attached to the viewport.
  • Numeric values align to the right, empty values display a dash, and tooltips reveal complete text. Filtering and CSV exports include hidden fields.

Install

Download the universal DMG or app ZIP for Apple silicon and Intel on macOS 14 or later. Drag Activity Monitor to Applications. SHA256SUMS verifies the downloads.

Verification and signing

The universal app, DMG and ZIP were built and verified locally on Apple silicon. All 122 Swift tests passed (7 opt-in performance tests skipped in that run), all 22 release performance and memory gates passed, and all 12 Python packaging/performance-gate tests passed. Native Intel runtime validation was not performed; GitHub-hosted macOS checks were queued at publication.

Ad-hoc signed, not Apple notarized.
