About Pulse
Pulse shows live readings from your Mac in the menu bar: processor load, memory and swap, temperatures, fan speeds, network and disk throughput, GPU use, power draw and battery health. Pin the metrics you care about next to the clock and open the dropdown for the full set.
It is modelled on the Vitals extension for GNOME. The prebuilt download is for Apple silicon Macs; Intel users need to build from source, and sensors a machine lacks are simply hidden.
