Vitals is an Activity Monitor alternative for Mac that simplifies process management by grouping them under their respective apps. This means you see around 60 apps instead of 1,000 processes. Vitals keeps 30 days of history and alerts you when an app misbehaves, all from the menu bar.
Vitals suits Mac users who need a clearer view of system performance without the clutter of individual processes. It is a one-time purchase with lifetime updates, and there's a 14-day refund policy if it's not for you.
Vitals does not replace every feature of Activity Monitor, such as process sampling. It runs on macOS 15 Sequoia or later, supporting both Apple silicon and Intel.
