Mac users looking to tweak their MacBook, iMac, or Pro macOS machines may be interested in a new performance tool which is now available called Sensei. Created by developer Oskar Groth, Sensei is available to download for free as a 14-day trial and can be upgraded to a yearly subscription for $29 or a lifetime license for $59.
“Sensei is an app that spans both software and hardware, including many more features than other apps in the Mac optimization category. It includes features for cleaning your disk, uninstalling apps, analyzing battery and disk health, monitoring CPU/GPU/RAM statistics, optimizing boot startup speeds, and much more.”
Comprehensive Features for Enhanced Performance
Sensei offers a wide array of features designed to enhance the performance and longevity of your Mac. The Performance Dashboard provides a centralized location to monitor all critical system metrics, ensuring that users can keep an eye on their Mac’s health at a glance. The Startup Speed Optimizer helps reduce boot times by managing startup items, allowing your Mac to start up faster and more efficiently.
The Disk Cleaner feature is particularly useful for freeing up space by removing unnecessary files and clutter that accumulate over time. For those using SSDs, the SSD Trim Enabler can help maintain the performance and longevity of the drive. Additionally, the HDD/SSD S.M.A.R.T Reporter and Disk Health Analyzer provide detailed insights into the health of your storage devices, helping you preemptively address potential issues.
Advanced Monitoring and Optimization Tools
Sensei also includes a Disk Benchmark tool to measure the performance of your storage devices, and a Disk Statistics Monitor to keep track of disk usage and performance over time. The Partition Map Explorer allows users to visualize and manage disk partitions easily.
For graphics performance, the GPU Monitor and GPU Firmware Exporter offer detailed reporting and monitoring capabilities. The Detailed GPU/eGPU Reporter provides in-depth information about your graphics hardware, which can be particularly useful for users with external GPUs.
Battery health is another critical aspect of Mac maintenance, and Sensei’s Battery Health Analyzer offers comprehensive insights into your battery’s condition, helping you maximize its lifespan. The RAM Monitor keeps track of memory usage, ensuring that your system runs smoothly even under heavy workloads.
The Thermal Dashboard and Temperature Monitor provide real-time data on your Mac’s thermal performance, helping you prevent overheating and maintain optimal operating conditions. Fan Control, which is expected to be released later in Q1, will allow users to manually adjust fan speeds for better cooling management.
Finally, the App Uninstaller feature makes it easy to remove unwanted applications completely, ensuring that no residual files are left behind.
