Monitoring Helper
The Monitoring Helper app extends the functionality of my apps. This download is optional and not required to run any of my apps.
Download Monitoring HelperWhat is the purpose of this app?
Apps on the Mac App Store run in a restricted Sandbox environment, which prevents them from reading battery information of connected Bluetooth devices. The Monitoring Helper app reads that sensor information and sends it to the main application, bridging that gap.
Does this app slow down my system?
Monitoring Helper is a very small app that runs in the background. It only acts when another app sends a request - processes it, and sends a response back. Without another app actively talking to it, the app does nothing at all.
Which apps require the Monitoring Helper app?
None, strictly speaking. Monitoring Helper extends the functionality of other apps, but is entirely optional.
Is this app safe?
Like all my apps, Monitoring Helper does not collect any personal information. Although it is not published on the Mac App Store, it is signed with my Developer certificate and digitally notarized by Apple.
Which apps are supported?
The Monitoring Helper app can add additional functionality to GPU Monitor Pro, System Monitor Panel, System Toolkit and Magic Battery.
