Vitals: a native Mac monitor with real watts, SMC temperatures and Neural Engine power (pay what you want, from $0)

Hi r/macapps. I built Vitals because Activity Monitor tells me how busy my Mac is, but not what it costs in power or how hot it really runs.
Problem: macOS hides a lot. Real watts per block, chip temperatures and Neural Engine power are not shown anywhere by default. I wanted them in one window and in the menu bar, without opening Terminal every time.
What it does: it shows CPU, GPU and system power in watts (read with powermetrics), temperatures from the SMC, Neural Engine power, memory pressure instead of just a percentage, battery health, disk, network and a process list. There is a menu bar panel and a history of recent readings. It is written in Swift and it is English and Spanish.
Comparison: Activity Monitor is built in and good for CPU and memory, but it does not show power in watts, chip temperatures or Neural Engine power. Stats and AirStats are great free options for general monitoring, and if that is what you need, use them. Vitals is narrower: real watts read with powermetrics, SMC temperatures and Neural Engine power, in one window and in the menu bar.
What it is not: it is not notarized and I do not have a Developer ID, so macOS shows a warning the first time and you have to allow it in Privacy and Security. It is closed source. The installer asks for your admin password once to allow a single exact powermetrics command without a password. It does not ask for Screen Recording, Accessibility or Input Monitoring.
Network: Vitals makes two requests. One to api.ipify.org to show your public IP, and one once a day to my site for the version number (you can turn this off in Settings). No accounts, no telemetry, nothing about your Mac is sent.
Pricing: pay what you want, from $0. The suggested price is $9.99 and the app is the same either way.
Requirements: Apple Silicon, macOS 13 or later. Tested on a MacBook Pro M5 and a MacBook Neo.
I'm Carlos Avila, an independent developer behind Vitals.

Would love to hear which readings you wish your Mac showed you.
