Sharp Lynx (was SystemPal)
macOS / Utilitaires
Sharp Lynx keeps your Mac's vitals one glance away.
Formerly SystemPal — same app, same developer, rebuilt from the ground up with a new name, a new design, and far more of your Mac on screen. If you owned SystemPal, this is your update.
Pick the stats you care about and they live in your menu bar — CPU, GPU, memory,
temperature, battery and network, updating every second. Click for a detailed
popover, or open the full dashboard when you want the whole picture.
MENU BAR, YOUR WAY
• Choose exactly which metrics appear, and drag them into the order you want
• Two-line labels so you never have to guess which number is which
• Compact spacing to fit more in a crowded menu bar
• Give the menu bar its own theme, independent of the app
A DASHBOARD THAT ACTUALLY TELLS YOU SOMETHING
• CPU — live load with a stacked user/system chart, per-core bars split into
Performance and Efficiency cores, and 1/5/15-minute load averages
• GPU — utilization and temperature
• Memory — used, plus the App / Wired / Compressed / Free breakdown
• Network — download and upload on opposite sides of the axis, so a busy
upload never hides a busy download
• Storage — capacity per volume and live read/write I/O
• Battery — charge, health, cycle count and power draw
• Top Processes — sort by CPU or memory
PER-COMPONENT DETAIL PAGES
Dedicated pages for CPU, GPU, Memory, Storage, Network, Battery and Sensors,
each with a large live chart and the numbers that matter.
SIX THEMES, LIGHT AND DARK
Multi-color (a semantic color per metric), Dual, Mono Amber, Mono Gray,
Mono Blue and a clean Light theme. The Mono Gray menu bar adapts to your
wallpaper exactly like macOS's own menu bar items.
TEMPERATURES AND FANS
macOS doesn't expose thermal sensors or fan speed to sandboxed App Store apps.
Sharp Lynx reads them through the free Sharp Lynx Helper, a small companion you
download separately from our website — the app will prompt you and can start,
stop and update it for you. Everything else works without it.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No tracking. No analytics. No network requests. Everything is
measured on your Mac and stays on your Mac.
Built for Apple Silicon Macs, running macOS 14 or later.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Sharp Lynx was previously called SystemPal — same app, same developer.
• Temperatures and fans: clearer guidance when the free Sharp Lynx Helper isn't installed or needs updating, and Sharp Lynx now starts it for you once it's in place
• Fixed the Battery page briefly claiming a MacBook was a desktop with no battery
• Fixed a duplicate menu bar item that could appear when set to launch at login
• Fixed a rare race between the menu bar and the background service that could interrupt live readings
• Dashboard cards in the middle row now share a height
• Settings shows the real app icon, and no longer claims Intel support (Sharp Lynx is Apple Silicon only)
This version needs Sharp Lynx Helper 1.1 or newer for temperatures and fan speed. Everything else works without it.
