Everything Bytesweep does
16 tools for your Mac or Windows PC, from a live system monitor to file recovery. They share one window, one licence and one 7-day undo, so you do not need a separate app for each job.
One licence, $29.99 once per computer. Every tool on this page included. No subscription, no account, works offline.

Watch and control your computer
Live readings, history and the controls macOS and Windows keep out of reach, in the menu bar, the tray or under the notch.
Why are the fans so loud?
Fan control
Every temperature sensor on your Mac, the apps heating it up, and a fixed fan speed that always goes back to automatic.

One app instead of 46
Most people collect these one at a time: a monitor here, an uninstaller there, a recovery tool on the day something goes missing. Bytesweep does each of these jobs, with the same undo and the same privacy rules throughout.
