Activity Monitor 1.6.2 adds a Process Explorer-style process tree and keeps settings menus stable during live telemetry updates.

New

  • Switch the main process workspace between List and Tree views, with ancestry-aware filtering, branch navigation and persistent expansion state.
  • Collapse or expand individual branches, reveal a selected process in its hierarchy and export the visible tree with parent-process context.
  • Inspect complete or partial CPU and memory usage for a process subtree, with explicit accounting scope in the usage panels.

Improved

  • The process tree is built and filtered efficiently during telemetry refreshes, with performance coverage for large process sets.
  • Settings menus remain open while live telemetry updates, so changing an interval or display option does not dismiss the menu.
  • 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.
