Vitals now shows the Neural Engine and lets you customize how it looks 🎨

Every Mac with Apple Silicon has a Neural Engine. More apps use it every month for dictation, transcription, and other AI that runs on the Mac.

Activity Monitor doesn't show it. I had no way to see how busy it was or which app was using it.

So Vitals now shows it.

- Neural Engine: how hard it's working, which apps are using it, and a chart of the last minutes. It can sit in the menu bar, and Vitals tells you when an app has kept it busy for 20 minutes.

- Customize: Vitals looks one way, the way I like it. Now you pick the chart colors, the font for the numbers, compact spacing, charts that go back 30 minutes, and a window that floats on top.

- Red under strain: readings in the menu bar can turn red when the CPU, memory, disk, or heat is under strain, so you only look when something is red.

Everything is on one page in Settings, with a preview that changes as you choose.

The color set I'd point you to is Accessible. It stays easy to tell apart with color blindness.

If you could change one thing about how Vitals looks, what would it be?

The update is free for everyone who owns Vitals. Open Vitals and it will offer the update, or download it from vitalsmac.com.
