Espial · Utility line
Your device health, readable at a glance.
Espial turns live system stats into a beautiful, native workspace: CPU, memory, disk, battery, network, energy, processes, and remote devices — with a Mac menu bar extra that keeps health one glance away, and plain-language insights.

Insight
Healthy headroom. Memory is the most constrained resource, but pressure remains normal.
Custom dashboard
Arrange the device story your way.
Espial’s dashboard supports tile sizes and variants: rings, bars, sparklines, stats grids, dual network columns, health views, and compact minimal tiles.
- Drag-to-reorder: put the metrics you care about first.
- Style variants: dense stats, quiet gauges, or trend-forward charts.
- One-anchor theming: Utility, Server, and Consumer themes stay coherent across every tile.
Mac menu bar extra
Lives in your menu bar, so health is always a glance away.
On Mac, Espial puts a compact live readout in the menu bar. The current metric sits right in the bar; click it for a tidy panel with CPU, memory, network, and battery — without opening the full window.
- Pick what shows: display CPU, memory, network, or a quiet status dot in the bar itself.
- One-click panel: a focused summary with sparklines and a plain-language health note.
- Stays out of the way: refreshes every second and only nudges you when something needs attention.
Remote monitor
Your own devices, seen from the one in front of you.
Espial’s remote monitor uses Sign in with Apple and iCloud so a Mac, iPad, or iPhone can publish a lightweight health snapshot for your other signed-in devices.
- Short-lived snapshots: CPU, memory, disk, battery, thermal, network, and optional GPU.
- Live mode: faster publishing when a peer device is actively watching.
- User control: enable, disable, block, or remove devices from the remote list.

Platform reality
Honest about what each device allows.
Espial is native everywhere, but iPhone and iPad are intentionally sandboxed. The app reflects that rather than pretending a phone can read every system-wide stat.
