FSMonitor is a macOS file-system monitoring utility for developers that tracks and reports all changes to files and directories in real time. It shows which files are being modified, accessed, or deleted, along with details about the process performing the action. Developers use it for troubleshooting, understanding application behaviour, debugging file-system interactions, and tracing which files are touched by system processes or third-party applications. FSMonitor has historically been a useful tool for developers who need visibility into file I/O activity on their Mac. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

Download the latest version from the official FSMonitor website (fsmonitor.com) — the site will automatically serve the native Universal Binary for Apple Silicon Macs. If you already have an older Intel version installed, simply download and install the latest build; your preferences and history will be preserved. Alternatively, if FSMonitor is distributed via the Mac App Store, open the App Store and check for updates to pull the native version. After upgrading, you'll notice better performance and battery efficiency compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta 2.
