Field notes
The documented workflow takes one reading every 30 minutes for 14 days and tracks memory pressure, memory in use, swap, CPU load, GPU load, and the Mac model. The page says readings stay on the computer unless the user shares them or opts into statistics, and notes that the sample report uses synthetic data. It also says the Mac menu-bar app remains a preview and is not yet released.
