Every Mac you own,
on one screen.
SystemStatusRemote shows the CPU, GPU, memory, network, disks, battery and thermal state of several Macs at once, live, from one dashboard. Optionally, it records it all for later.
Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple. No account, no cloud.

Eight modules, every Mac, live
Each Mac gets the same cards and charts. Choose which modules each one shows and how often it samples.
Side by side, or metric by metric
Command-click two or more Macs in the sidebar to see just those together. Switch the layout with one click:
- By Mac gives each Mac its own panel.
- By Module groups each metric, all the CPUs, then all the memory, so the Macs line up for a direct comparison.
- The window fits itself as Macs come and go, one column at a time.

A quiet menu-bar agent on each Mac
SystemStatusClient sits in the menu bar, connects to your dashboard and reports. It can also show its own Mac's stats in a window of its own.
- Finds the dashboard on your network by itself (Bonjour).
- Follows the dashboard if its address or name changes.
- Reconnects on its own after sleep or a network drop.
- Opens at login, if you like.
- Can be allowed to see every Mac too, as a Viewer, for viewing only.

Seven color schemes, light or dark
Display Options set the chart style and a color scheme: Standard, Classic, Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Violet and High Contrast. A scheme sets the chart lines, the load scale on bar charts and the accent. The thermal indicator always runs green to red.
- Drag Macs to reorder them; the Overview follows.
- Per-Mac settings: modules, sample rate, Overview, history.
- Show or hide a card on one Mac, or on every Mac at once.
- Appearance: System, Light or Dark.

Everything you need, nothing you don't
Private and encrypted
Macs talk to each other directly over TLS 1.3 with mutual authentication. No account, no server, no cloud. After pairing, only the paired Macs can connect.
Pairing you can check
Both Macs show the same three words, like maple · river · copper. If they match, accept. If they don't, something is posing as one of your Macs.
Optional history
Record every Mac to SQLite, one file per day, kept as long as you choose (30 days by default). Export any time range as CSV or JSON.
Finds itself
Clients list the dashboards on your network by name. For a dashboard elsewhere, type its address instead.
Light on resources
Collecting every module once a second takes about 1% of one processor core on each Mac. The dashboard draws only what's on screen and keeps recording with its window closed.
Knows when a Mac goes quiet
A Mac that stops reporting is marked Not responding, then Offline. Offline Macs step aside and rejoin on their own when they're back.
Who it's for
Anyone with more than one Mac, and a reason to know what they're doing.
Build and render machines
Kick off a long compile, export or render on another Mac and watch CPU, GPU and thermal state from your desk. See when it throttles, and when it's done.
CPU · GPU · ThermalHeadless Mac minis and servers
A Mac mini in a closet running a media server, backups or a build bot has no screen to look at. Keep its disk space, memory pressure and network on yours.
Disk Usage · Memory · NetworkThe family's Macs
Notice the laptop that's nearly out of disk, the battery that's wearing out, or the Mac that's been pinned at 100% CPU for a week, before anyone asks you why it's slow.
Battery health · Disk Usage · CPUSmall studios and offices
One dashboard for the handful of Macs in a studio or office: who's busy, who's offline, and whose drive is filling up. Designed for about ten Macs; tested well beyond.
Overview · Offline statusBenchmarking and testing
Run the same job on several Macs and compare them By Module, live. Record history and export the exact time range to CSV for a spreadsheet or a report.
Compare Macs · History export"What happened overnight?"
Turn on history and the dashboard keeps recording with its window closed: peaks, averages, and every connect and disconnect, ready to export the next morning.
History · Events
Two apps, five minutes
Install the dashboard on the Mac you look at, the client on each Mac you want to watch, and pair them.
