HWMonitor
HWMonitor is a system utility that displays real-time hardware monitoring information on Mac computers, including CPU and GPU temperatures, voltages, fan speeds, and other sensor data. It's commonly used by Mac users who want detailed insight into their system's thermal performance and hardware health, particularly those running Intel-based Macs. The app provides a quick overview of critical hardware metrics that can help diagnose thermal issues, monitor system stability, or simply keep tabs on fan activity during intensive workloads.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionHWMonitor (version 6.26.1440 and later) is not available as a native Apple Silicon or Universal Binary version. The app appears to be abandoned or no longer actively maintained by its developer CPUID, with no public announcements regarding Apple Silicon support. Since Intel Macs will continue running Intel apps via Rosetta 2 for the foreseeable future, you can continue using HWMonitor on your current system. However, if you plan to upgrade to an Apple Silicon Mac in the future, you should switch to a native alternative. We recommend **Macs Fan Control** or **iStat Menus**, both of which offer native Apple Silicon support, comprehensive hardware monitoring, and active development. iStat Menus in particular is feature-rich and widely trusted by Mac users for detailed thermal and performance monitoring.
