HWMonitor
HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring utility that displays real-time information about your Mac's system health. It reads sensor data including temperatures, voltages, fan speeds, CPU utilization and clock speeds, helping users track thermal performance and diagnose hardware issues. The app is primarily used by power users, overclockers, system administrators and technical support staff who need detailed visibility into their machine's physical state beyond what macOS System Information provides.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionHWMonitor is not available as a native macOS app — the vendor CPUID focuses development on Windows and Linux versions. The search results show HWMonitor alternatives listed for Mac systems, but no native Apple Silicon build of HWMonitor itself appears to exist. Since you are running an Intel-only build under Rosetta 2, and Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), you have roughly two years to plan your transition. For real-time hardware monitoring on Apple Silicon Macs, consider Macs Fan Control (which includes detailed sensor readouts), iStat Menus (a paid but comprehensive option), or the free Intel Power Gadget alternative if you specifically need CPU power metrics. All of these run natively on M-series Macs and are actively maintained. If you rely on HWMonitor for a specific monitoring task that others do not cover, contact CPUID to express interest in a macOS native build.
