GPU Monitor Pro
GPU Monitor Pro is a macOS utility that shows live graphics processor activity, memory use, temperatures, and related GPU status information.
What is GPU Monitor Pro?
GPU Monitor Pro is a native macOS utility for monitoring the graphics processor in your Mac. It helps users watch live GPU activity while gaming, rendering, benchmarking, editing video, or troubleshooting performance. The app can display details such as utilization, video memory usage, temperatures, fan speeds, clocks, and power-related information when those values are exposed by the graphics driver. It supports Macs with Apple, AMD, and Intel graphics, including systems with more than one GPU and external graphics hardware where supported. GPU Monitor Pro can run as a standard window or stay available from the menu bar for quick checks during everyday use. It is published by Sascha Simon and is aimed at users who want a focused way to keep an eye on graphics performance on macOS.
Key features
- Monitor live GPU utilization and video memory usage.
- View temperatures, fan speeds, clocks, and power-related readings when available.
- Track internal and external GPUs from Apple, AMD, and Intel.
- Choose which graphics card to watch on Macs with multiple GPUs.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
GPU Monitor Pro is a hardware monitoring utility, so reading graphics and sensor information is a normal part of how it works. It may run in the menu bar or at login if you enable that option, which is expected behavior for a monitoring app. The app store listing states that the developer does not collect data, but you should still review any privacy details and optional premium features before installing.
Recommendation: Keep GPU Monitor Pro if you use it to watch graphics performance, temperatures, or memory usage during demanding tasks. If you no longer monitor your Mac's GPU activity, you can remove it without affecting macOS beyond losing its monitoring views and menu bar access.
