Activity Monitor 1.9.0 adds native software updates and gives more window space to charts and processes.

Software updates

  • Use Check for Updates… from the application menu or More menu to download and install new versions with Sparkle's native interface.
  • Daily update checks are enabled by default. Opt into automatic downloads and installation, or disable background checks, from Software Updates in the application menu.
  • Update feeds and archives are signed with Ed25519. Downloads are verified before extraction, and release publishing verifies the archive against the public key included in the app.

More room for monitoring

  • A compact, single-row overview header retains the GPU selector, history range, live/paused status, and help. Hover over the info button for a tooltip or click it to read the explanation.
  • All six metric tabs now stay in the native macOS title bar. Narrow windows use icons; wider windows include labels and additional actions.
  • Metric tabs use a single native glass outline on macOS Tahoe, removing the redundant border.
  • A small gap below the title bar separates metric tabs from the overview controls at every window size.
  • Native window controls support normal window dragging, zooming, and full screen. Keyboard shortcuts and distinct accessibility labels remain available.

Install

Download the universal DMG or ZIP for Apple silicon and Intel on macOS 14 or later. Install 1.9.0 once from the download to enable built-in updates; earlier releases do not include the updater. SHA256SUMS verifies the downloads.

Changes since 1.8.1

This release is ad-hoc signed, not Apple notarized. See INSTALL.md for first-launch instructions.
