The pre-Ventura overview screen, faithfully rebuilt — model, OS, CPU, memory, and graphics at a glance — then quietly extended for the machines Apple never shipped.

Overview

Displays

Up to three, at a glance

Connected displays and their resolutions, visualized in a single view — the kind of thing that used to take three apps to figure out on a hackintosh.

Questions

Why does macOS say the app is blocked?+

On older macOS you may hit a Gatekeeper warning. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click “Open Anyway”.

Does it work on real Macs and Hackintosh systems?+

Both. It reads standard macOS system info and surfaces Clover/OpenCore details when available.

What macOS versions are supported?+

macOS 10.13 High Sierra and newer.

Free and open source. Support on OpenCollective or read the README.
