MacStats Updates
We ship fast. Here is every improvement, bug fix, and new feature added to MacStats.
v1.0.4: Diagnostics & Insight Latest
July 2026
Added
Incident detection with a full timeline view. MacStats now records performance incidents as they happen and lets you replay what your Mac was doing.
Added
"Diagnose My Mac", a one-click system analysis that summarises the current state and recommends prioritised actions.
Added
Baseline anomaly detection. MacStats learns what is normal for your Mac and alerts on sustained deviations instead of firing at fixed thresholds.
Added
Weekly Mac health report with a health score, delivered as a notification and a full report window.
Added
Plain-English status summaries in the dashboard, generated locally with no network round-trip.
Added
Smarter battery alerting, including per-cycle and step-drop notifications with maintenance advice.
Improved
History and Trends charts: clearer axes, richer tooltips, and correct date formatting across the 24-hour, 7-day and 30-day ranges.
Improved
More accurate CPU, disk, network and Bluetooth monitoring across the board.
Fixed
Insight and History windows now reuse a single window instead of opening duplicates, and no longer leak memory when closed.
Security
Quitting a process now asks for confirmation first and refuses to signal core macOS processes. This also closes a case where force-quitting kernel_task from the process list could stop MacStats itself.
v1.0.3: Dashboard Polish
July 2026
Improved
Dashboard stat circles redesigned for better readability at a glance.
v1.0.2: Pro & Sessions
June 2026
Added
Session recording: capture dense samples over a defined period and export the results as CSV.
Added
Bluetooth peripheral monitoring, including per-device battery levels and a device count in the menu bar.
Added
Disk space chart alongside the existing CPU, memory and network history.
Added
Proactive AI alerts that surface a diagnosis when a process sustains high CPU or memory.
Added
Battery health and cycle-count tracking via IOKit, with health warnings.
Added
Pro licensing with a dedicated Pro menu bar layout.
Improved
AI Insights moved into a standalone window for easier reading.
Improved
Menu bar refinements: Bluetooth icon, MB/s network formatting, tighter padding and native hover geometry.
Fixed
Memory pressure readings corrected to reflect real system pressure.
Fixed
AI Explainer no longer produces inaccurate descriptions for unknown processes.
Security
Removed an Option-key developer unlock bypass and rotated hardcoded API credentials out of the app.
v1.0.1: Alerts & Customisation
June 2026
Added
Memory pressure monitoring with a native notification system.
Added
Automatic updates via Sparkle, so new versions install without a manual download.
Added
App theme support and a completely redesigned Settings panel organised into General, Menu Bar, Advanced and About.
Added
Compact and stacked network display modes to save menu bar space.
Added
Dynamic coloured gauges that shift colour as utilisation climbs.
Improved
Monitoring rewritten on async/await for lower overhead and smoother refreshes.
Fixed
Menu bar icon vertical alignment, dashboard padding, and popover clipping issues.
