Verdict watches your actual workload, finds your bottlenecks, and tells you exactly which Mac to buy next. No overspending on RAM you won't use or a chip you'll never push.
Real usage data → personalized recommendations. Not guesswork.
Data-Driven Decisions
Verdict learns your actual workload so it can recommend the exact specs you need. No more guessing whether you need 16 or 32 GB of RAM, or if the Pro chip is worth the price.
Verdict maps your real usage to current-gen Macs and picks three tiers: Recommended, Consider, and Overkill. Each one matched to your workload, not a spec sheet.
usage-matchedFinds exactly where your Mac is struggling and correlates it with the apps causing it. So you know if it's a RAM problem, a CPU problem, or just Chrome being Chrome.
app-awarePick any current Mac and see projected performance against your actual workload. Would the base M4 Air handle your workflow? Now you'll know.
interactiveBreaks down the dollar cost of fixing each bottleneck. See which upgrade gives you the most improvement per dollar spent.
value-focusedA composite score across CPU, memory, GPU, storage, and battery. Weekly digests track trends so you can see your Mac aging in real time.
0-100 scaleEverything runs on your Mac. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry. Built in Swift, sandboxed, and your data never leaves your machine.
local-onlyAlways-On Monitoring
Even if you're not shopping for a new Mac, Verdict is a powerful system monitor. It lives in your menu bar and tracks everything that matters, all day, every day.
CPU, GPU, memory, disk I/O, storage, and battery, all in a compact menu bar popover. Real-time gauges updated every 30 seconds with no performance impact.
A single 0-100 number that weighs CPU, memory, GPU, storage, battery, and macOS compatibility. Green means you're good. Amber means pay attention. Red means it's time to act.
Tracks actual battery health using raw capacity data, not the rounded percentage macOS shows you. Detects Low Power Mode and warns if it's skewing your metrics.
Every week, Verdict summarizes your Mac's health trend, flags top resource consumers, and alerts you if your score dropped. You'll know if something changed before you feel it.
Checks your Mac against Apple's support matrix. Apple Silicon Macs are current. Intel Macs get a clear status: supported, at risk, or unsupported, with an explanation of what that means for you.
Verdict stores up to 90 days of samples so you can spot trends over time. See how your Mac's performance changes with OS updates, new apps, or heavier projects.
