Store description excerpt

Every USB and Thunderbolt device connected to your Mac — what it is, how fast it actually negotiated, and how much power it is pulling — one click from the menu bar. Plugged a USB 3 drive in and it still crawls? USB Monitor reads the real negotiated link speed of every device straight from the system registry, so a 10 Gbps SSD stuck at 480 Mbps stands out the moment you open the list. No digging through System Information, no guessing whether the cable, the hub, or the port is the problem. WHAT YOU GET • See instantly whether a device negotiated USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 or 20 Gbps — and fix the port or cable instead of blaming the drive. • Pull up the full identity of anything plugged in: vendor, vendor and product ID, serial number, location ID and port. • Catch power trouble early — requested vs. available current for each device, total bus draw, and a clear warning when a port runs near or over its budget. • Check free space on every external drive and eject it safely with one click, so you never yank a disk mid-write again. • Scroll a running connection log of every attach and detach, grouped by day — see exactly when that drive dropped off overnight. • Get a banner the moment any device connects or disconnects, with its name and negotiated speed. PERFECT FOR • Anyone whose external drive "feels slow" and wants the real answer in one glance • Desk setups where a dock, a hub and a dozen peripherals fight over ports and power • Photographers and editors who mount and eject cards and SSDs all day • Developers and IT folks who need vendor IDs and serial numbers, not guesses WHY NOT JUST SYSTEM INFORMATION? The built-in report buries link speed several clicks deep, has to be refreshed by hand, keeps no history, and cannot eject anything. USB Monitor is live: the list updates the instant a device is plugged in or removed, every event is logged, power budgets are watched, and a safe eject is one click away — all without leaving the menu bar. BUILT FOR MAC Native SwiftUI with a focused dark interface. Lives quietly in the menu bar — no Dock icon, no clutter. Dedicated windows for Devices, Power, Storage and the Connection Log, so you can keep any of them open on a second display while you work. Pin the devices you care about to the top, rename them to what you actually call them, and search across names, vendors, serials and speeds. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything is read locally from your Mac's own device registry. No account, no analytics, no tracking — nothing about your hardware ever leaves your machine. FULL ACCESS Unlock the complete toolkit — live device list, real link speeds, power monitoring, storage with safe eject, connection log and alerts. Pick the plan that fits — weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase that never renews. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Plug in a drive, click the menu bar, and see the tr
