Vitals is live on Product Hunt today. It's an Activity Monitor alternative for Mac that shows you 60 apps instead of 1,000 processes, and in its first week, close to 830 licenses have sold. This is the story of why I built it, how it works, and why I think it's the best way to see what your Mac is actually doing.
Vitals was an instant iStat Menu's replacement for me. Looking forward to all the upcoming goodies @attacomsian has in mind for this!

@jim_hartung Thank you! Just $5, pay once, and it's yours 😄
One of the first users here and I'm finding it so much more useful that Activity Monitor, I can see what's happening at a glance. And its surprisingly fast too!

@maikunari Thanks for being an early one.
speed was a big focus, glad you noticed.
@attacomsian Plus I didn't even notice the running projects one as well - nice touch!
It is a simple yet effective tool for mac. Lucky to be part of the first 1000 to get it $5. Looking forward to the Storage cleanup feature and many more in the futute.

@joseph_kappala2 Thanks for being one of the first 1000 🙏
lots more coming, stay tuned.
Love apps which prioritise design and experience. Vitals really puts the indie community on limelight because of how good it is. For me a must recommend. ✨

@aashishlal Thank you so much 🙌
that really means a lot coming from a fellow indie.

Excited to hunt Vitals today.
Vitals is a native Mac monitor that shows which apps are actually using your resources, instead of making you dig through hundreds of individual processes.
What stands out:
• App-level monitoring: CPU, memory, energy, disk, and network in one view.
• 30-day history: Spot apps that start misbehaving over time.
• Dev server detection: Find forgotten Node/Python servers by project and port.
• Privacy-first: No account, no subscription, and everything stays on your Mac.
