Everything a Mac gamer needs. Nothing more.

Frametime Sparkline

Visualize gameplay smoothness in real time with a low-latency sparkline and instant micro-stutter detection.

The HUD appears seamlessly as soon as any 3D or Metal game launches, and fades away quietly when you return to your desktop.

GPU, CPU & Thermals

Track live chip utilization, unified VRAM & RAM consumption, battery stats, and thermal throttling in real time.

Drag & Drop or Snap to Corners

Freely drag and drop the overlay anywhere on your screen with your mouse, or snap it instantly to any of the 4 screen corners to stay out of your mini-map.
