CommuniPhone is an honest, at-a-glance health dashboard for your iPhone and iPad. See exactly how your device is doing right now — storage, memory, battery, temperature, CPU, and network — with clean live gauges and a single overall Device Health Score. What CommuniPhone shows you: - Storage: how much space is actually free, with a trend chart so you can see it filling up before it becomes a problem, plus guidance on how to reclaim space. - Battery & Power: charge level, charging state, and Low Power Mode, alongside how warm your device is running. - Memory & CPU: how much RAM your device has, how much CommuniPhone itself uses, and how hard the processor is working — including 1, 5, and 15-minute load averages and per-core activity. - Thermal: a live temperature status that most monitors ignore, so you know when your device is running hot. - System: network data counters, your local and external IP address, and a full device spec sheet (model, chip, screen, iOS version). Trends and alerts: CommuniPhone quietly logs these readings on your device so you get trend charts over time, and while it is open it can alert you when storage runs low, the device gets hot, or the battery is low — always with plain-language guidance on what to do next. Honest by design: CommuniPhone is a monitor, not a "cleaner." iOS intentionally prevents any app from seeing or controlling other apps, so CommuniPhone will never pretend to "boost," "free RAM," or close apps for you. It shows you real, device-level information and helps you understand it. Your readings are processed on your device and are never uploaded; the app itself uses the network for ads, remote config and anonymous usage analytics, like the rest of our free apps. CommuniPhone is 100% free for everyone, supported by ads: after a free first day, watching one short ad unlocks the app for 12 hours at a time. No subscriptions and no in-app purchases — every feature, including trends, alerts, the full spec sheet, and copy/share, is available to every user. Have an idea or found a bug? Request features and suggest improvements right from the in-app CommuniDev tab — we keep the app free for everyone, forever.

About

Temperatura for Mac

Features
Read full description

See your Mac's temperatures and keep an eye on them from iPhone and iPad: chip, SSD, battery and the macOS thermal state, live on the same Wi‑Fi network and, with iCloud, away from home too. HOW IT WORKS Install Temperatura for Mac on the Mac and open it. iPhone and iPad find the Mac by themselves on the local network: no account, nothing to configure. WHAT YOU SEE • The macOS thermal state: normal, elevated, serious or critical. It tells you whether the Mac is slowing down to cool off. • A summary per group, with the hottest sensor and the average. • A chart of the last 10 minutes. • Celsius or Fahrenheit. • More than one Mac? Choose which one to watch. AWAY FROM HOME TOO With iCloud, the Mac saves its temperatures to your account about once a minute, and iPhone and iPad show them even when they are not on the same network. The data stays in your iCloud: we never see it. All it takes is the same Apple Account on the Mac and on the device. AN ALERT IF THE MAC RUNS HOT Turn on "Alert me if the Mac runs hot" and get a notification as soon as the thermal state is no longer normal (elevated, serious or critical), even from afar. Handy when the Mac works on its own, for example during an AI task, an export or a long build. ON THE MAC The same app shows everything on the Mac too, with the temperature in the menu bar and a summary one click away. GOOD TO KNOW • You need a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 15 or later, with Temperatura for Mac open. • On the same Wi‑Fi network updates are real-time; away from home about once a minute, with the Mac on and connected to the internet. • Some guest, corporate or public networks block communication between devices: iCloud still works there. • In English, Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese and German. REQUIREMENTS iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 15 or later with the Temperatura for Mac app installed.
