Why Brello
Activity Monitor shows numbers. Brello tells you what they mean.
Activity Monitor is free and built in. Here is what Brello adds, and the one thing it leaves to Activity Monitor.
| Activity Monitor | Brello | |
|---|---|---|
| What you see | Tables of processes on five tabs | A Health score, a verdict and cards in plain words |
| AI agents | Separate processes among all the others | Each agent with every process it started, and its share of your Mac |
| History | The last 12 hours of energy | The hour, day, week and month, kept on your Mac |
| What keeps your Mac awake | A Preventing Sleep column | Each app, for how long, and when your Mac will sleep |
| Acting on it | Quit or Force Quit | Balance the Load, and Quit or Force Quit, each asked first |
| Security, backups, updates, drive wear | Not shown | Checked, each with the button that deals with it |
| Sampling a process | Yes | No |
| Cost | Built in | $20, one time |
Agents
Know what your AI agents cost.
Coding agents and local models run all day. See each one’s share of your Mac, with every process it started.
Activity
See the whole load, in plain words.
Apps, agents, background helpers and macOS itself, each with its share and a word for it.
Balance the Load
Keep the load balanced.

Security, Time Machine and updates, checked, each with the button that deals with it.
The menu bar
Always a glance away.
Click the menu bar or press Control-Option-Space. Your Mac’s vitals, what’s busy, and Quick Search for any file.
And your files
Your files, in order.
Home and Clean up come with it: see what you have, and clear what you don’t need.
- Home. Every file on your Mac by kind, with its count and size.
- Clean up. What you could clear out, listed before anything goes.
- Asks first. Nothing is deleted or quit without your yes.
Light and private
Light on your Mac. Private by design.
It reads only what’s on screen, and nothing about your Mac leaves it.

Questions
Will it run on my Mac?
Yes, on every Mac with macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel. Brello has no AI model in it, so it doesn’t need Apple Intelligence.
Does it need my administrator password?
No. Every reading comes from what macOS gives any app: its public interfaces and the tools it ships with.
Can it break anything?
Nothing changes without your yes. Quit, Force Quit, End Session and Balance the Load each ask first, with the name in the question. A process macOS needs, another user’s, and Brello itself are refused, with a sentence saying why.
Does it show temperatures and fans?
It shows the Mac’s heat in words, from macOS’s own reading, and the battery’s temperature. Not the processor in degrees or the fans: macOS gives apps no public way to read them.
Is Brello a task manager for Mac?
Yes. All Processes lists everything running on your Mac on five tabs, CPU, Memory, Energy, Disk and Network, with Quit and Force Quit, which ask first. The Mac’s built-in one is Activity Monitor; Brello adds what each process is in plain words, a Health score and Balance the Load.
Does it replace Activity Monitor?
For most people, yes: every process, the same five tabs, Quit and Force Quit, in plain words. Health and Activity Monitor compared.
Is it a subscription?
No. $20, one time, on up to 3 Macs, with refunds within 30 days and no reason needed. There’s no account.
What does Brello PI add?
