System: Mac GPU, power, thermal and batteries
This 30-second video shows System in FavTray, a Mac menu bar app for developers. CPU, GPU, power, thermal, audio, Bluetooth batteries, camera, mic and USB. One bar jumps to every section: GPU use minute by minute, the apps keeping your Mac awake, thermal state, volume per output, AirPods and keyboard batteries, which app has the camera, and the real speed of a USB cable. It alerts you when something matters.
