DeviceBeat brings your device activity into one clear dashboard, with native layouts for iPhone and iPad. MONITOR YOUR DEVICE • CPU activity and processor information • Memory usage and available storage • Network traffic, connection details and optional latency checks • Battery level, charging state, thermal state and Low Power Mode • Local history, trends and configurable alerts KEEP KEY READINGS CLOSE Add small, medium or large Home Screen widgets. Customize a compact monitoring panel and use the floating window to follow device activity while working in another app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, advertising or analytics SDKs. Measurements and history stay on your device. The optional network latency probe is off by default; when enabled, it opens a TCP connection to captive.apple.com without uploading measurements. Available readings depend on the device and iOS permissions. Detailed process lists, battery health and cycle count, fan speeds and hardware temperature sensors are not exposed on iOS. Unavailable readings are explicitly marked. Widget refresh timing is controlled by iOS.
