DiskLed
DiskLed is a system utility for macOS that provides real-time visual feedback of disk activity. It displays an LED-style indicator in the menu bar or as a desktop widget that lights up when the system is reading from or writing to disk, helping users monitor I/O performance and diagnose disk-related slowdowns. The app is lightweight and designed to run continuously in the background, making it useful for developers, system administrators, and power users who need to understand when their Mac is performing disk operations.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about DiskLed's current status or native Apple Silicon support. The app appears to be from a smaller or niche developer, and there is limited public documentation available. If you rely on DiskLed, contact the developer directly at the bundle ID vendor (agileroute) to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned before macOS 28 ships in late 2027, since an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. In the meantime, the Intel version continues to work under Rosetta 2. As actively maintained alternatives with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider Disk Diag (which monitors disk health and activity), iStat Menus (a comprehensive system monitor with disk indicators), or Activity Monitor's I/O stats tab (built into macOS at no cost). These tools will continue working after Rosetta 2 is removed.
