Dashboard

Learn how to use the Disk Aid Dashboard to monitor your Mac's CPU, memory, disk, battery, and network stats in real time.

Overview

The Dashboard is the first screen you see when you open Disk Aid. It provides a quick and informative overview of your Mac's most important system statistics, making it easy to monitor performance at a glance.

What the Dashboard Shows

The Dashboard displays real-time information for the following:

  • CPU -- Current processor usage and load.
  • Memory -- How much RAM is in use and how much is available.
  • Disk -- Storage capacity, used space, and free space on your drive.
  • Battery -- Current charge level and power status (on portable Macs).
  • Network -- Active network connection details.
  • Uptime -- How long your Mac has been running since its last restart.
  • CPU Graph -- A scrolling graph at the bottom of the Dashboard that shows CPU load over time in real time.

You will notice certain figures changing as they update. This gives you a highly accurate and current insight into how your Mac is performing.

Using the Dashboard

There are no actions required to use the Dashboard. Simply select Dashboard from the sidebar and the statistics are displayed automatically. Use it any time you want a quick health check of your Mac's system performance.
