# 1 Activity Monitor alternative for Mac

Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/activity-monitor

Built into macOS: shows how each app and process uses your Mac's CPU, memory, energy and disk.

Activity Monitor is free and built into macOS, but it lists processes one by one and keeps little history. Alternatives group helpers under the app they belong to, keep stats in the menu bar, show temperatures, or explain what is slowing the Mac.
