CortexVerified on MacBase

Cortex is a system monitor for macOS that groups thousands of processes into the apps you use, keeps 30 days of performance history, and shows CPU, GPU, memory, disk, network, battery, temperature, and fan activity. Its menu bar view surfaces current metrics and the busiest apps at a glance. Built for Apple silicon, Cortex also tracks Neural Engine activity and local AI workloads from tools such as Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, ComfyUI, and MLX. A model fit advisor compares model requirements with available memory, while Ask Cortex answers questions about your Mac using on-device data. Everything stays local, with no account, analytics, or telemetry.
