MacDNA learns it. When something changes, see what moved, what was nearby, and how strong the evidence is—without sending your monitoring history away.
Here is the clearest story your Mac can tell right now.
Open the Context Lens to inspect application activity observed nearby.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1
The current memory-proxy reading is beyond this Mac’s learned range.
MacDNA found the change. Context Lens and App DNA help you inspect nearby app activity without claiming that proximity proves cause.
Interactive simulation · no information is read from your device.
Most monitors end with a number.
Why MacDNA
Activity Monitor is excellent at showing what is happening now. MacDNA adds personal history, context, and a record of what you tried.
A raw reading alone cannot know your usual working pattern.
You reconcile processes with your own memory and form a theory.
Inspect retained history and nearby observations while keeping uncertainty visible.
Nearby activity is evidence of timing, not proof of causation. MacDNA keeps that distinction visible.
Living Systems
Dedicated CPU, memory, storage, network, and battery workspaces flow into the same calm investigation experience.
MacDNA establishes each signal separately after at least 30 valid local observations. A robust median and deviation range keep one spike from redefining your normal.
Inspect one signal through time, move point by point, and open the Context Lens for application activity observed nearby.
See an application as the thing you recognize—not a scattered list of renderer, GPU, and helper processes. App DNA is an honest current snapshot.
Keep the captured finding, severity, evidence, your private note, and the action you tried together. Review a strict redaction preview before export.
Developer Mode
An on-demand lsof scan joins visible TCP listeners with their exact PID and working directory. MacDNA groups local services by project and always confirms before stopping anything.
Private by architecture
Performance history can reveal what you run, when you work, and which projects exist. The detailed story belongs on your machine.
Read the privacy detailsApp activity, process names, paths, ports, and retained history stay local.
A license key activates the app; there is no behavior profile to sign into.
No analytics or crash-upload service is integrated into the app.
Choose a redaction profile, then review the exact output before saving.
Simple ownership
One payment, lifetime access, and application updates throughout MacDNA's supported commercial lifetime. No subscription, recurring charge, mandatory renewal, or server check at launch. Deactivate on your current Mac to transfer to another — no extra charge, no time limit.

Good to know
MacDNA is designed to earn trust before it asks for a license.
Not publicly yet. The implementation and automated Apple-silicon build are ready, but physical-device validation, production services, legal review, Developer ID signing, and Apple notarization still gate the signed DMG.
One license covers one Mac at a time. Deactivate on your current Mac from the device management page to free the slot immediately, then activate on the new Mac. No extra charge, no time limit on transfers.
Live readings work immediately. Each supported signal needs at least 30 valid retained observations before MacDNA calls its learned range established.
No. It can show application activity observed near a change and group visible helper processes, but it labels this as association—not proof of causation.
No. Detailed monitoring history, application activity, and private notes stay local. Activation sends the license key, app version, installation ID, and Mac label needed to manage the device.
No. It explains evidence and keeps you in control. It does not silently delete files, stop processes, or change system settings.
The first release targets Apple-silicon Macs running macOS 15 or later. The final compatibility statement follows the physical-device test matrix.
