Performance of macOS 26 virtual machine on MacBook Pro M1 Pro (32GB RAM), what virtual machine app to choose, do you guys have any experience?

For security reasons, I need to do some work in the virtual machine (because some app with high privileges is needed).

Now I'm using UTM, offer 16GB RAM for the vm, the vm acts a little slow, like the page scrolling may stuck for a while.

welcome to discuss how to obtain better performance for this situation.

Thanks!

Finally the CyberTools is available in the EU!

Hey everyone,

As some of you said this app was not available in the EU, after checking the requirements, I found its difficult for me to prepare the document of my address proof, because I'm living with my families, no utilities bills with my name. Also, I cannot apply a credit card because no formal work. I only have debit account (no monthly statements with address).

After days of investigation, I ask the bank to give me formal account proof document with my address attached, then, I successfully pass the Apple's verification.

So, the app should be available in the EU's App Store.

Check it out and enjoy!: https://apps.apple.com/app/cybertools/id6759388383

I'm still looking forward to your feedback!

What app do you guys use to monitor your macOS? Here’s the new free one Process Doctor, it simple and tiny(~2MB).

I'm interested in monitoring the system, I’ve tried several similar apps, but not satisfied, some of the powerful apps need to purchase for full features, I don't like an app with some features unavailable (even I don't need it). So I built this app, then I built the one for myself, after iterations, I decided to release it the public for free, hope you enjoy!

Looking forward your feedback!

The app introduction site: https://proc.stepwalk.fun

Process Doctor is a native macOS 14+ process monitor (Apple Silicon and Intel). It shows live system activity and a parent–child process tree, with rich per-process detail and optional menu bar monitoring. Your process list stays on your Mac—nothing is sent to the cloud for monitoring.

Core experience

  • Live system overview — Sparkline history for CPU, memory (including pressure-style breakdown), GPU, and aggregate network throughput above the process list (default-route interface when available, otherwise aggregated from processes).
  • Configurable sampling — Refresh interval (down to half-second steps) and how much history to keep for charts and trends.
  • Tree, search, and sort — Hierarchical outline; search by name, arguments, path, and PID; sort by CPU, memory, threads, network in/out, name, or PID; optional ancestor-aware filtering (matches plus their parent chain).
  • Click to inspect — Pick the window under the cursor to jump to its process (Accessibility when allowed; geometry fallback without it).

Per-process inspectors

Selecting a process opens tabs such as:

  • General — Footprint-oriented memory detail where available
  • Args & environment
  • Open files
  • Sockets
  • Libraries — Optional otool for dylibs (when enabled in Settings)
  • Code signing
  • Entitlements
  • Startup items — LaunchAgents/Daemons and related context
  • History charts — Memory and network

Actions and automation

  • Process actions — Pause / resume (SIGSTOP / SIGCONT), terminate, or force quit selected processes (with confirmations where appropriate).
  • Shortcuts — Fire Shortcuts when processes start or exit (JSON on the clipboard; opens your shortcut via the Shortcuts URL scheme). Menu bar and window behavior
  • Menu bar companion — Optional item with compact system charts and quick actions to open the app or hide the main window.
  • Startup & presentation — Launch at login, menu-bar-only modes, Dock visibility, and whether the main window opens at launch.

Updates and permissions

  • Updates — Check for updates from Settings or Help; optional automatic checks on launch and about daily while running (you’re alerted only when a newer version is available).
  • Accessibility — Used for full click-to-inspect; geometry-based picking works without it.
  • Full Disk Access — Optional, for deeper plist scans and some paths (add the app under Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access if you want that depth).

Interesting to monitor the system activities. Here’s the new FREE native macOS app ProcessDoctor. Enjoy!

I'm interested in monitoring the system, some of the powerful apps need to by license for full features, I don't like an app with some features unavailable (even I don't need it). So I built this Free app, now released to public, hope you enjoy!

The app introduction site: https://proc.stepwalk.fun

Looking forward to your feedback!

The features list:

  • Process list — Hierarchical tree of running processes with search (name, arguments, path, PID) and sort by CPU, memory, threads, network in, network out, name, or PID. Optional mode to show matches plus their ancestor chain when filtering.
  • System overview — Top bar with live history (sparklines) for CPU, memory (stacked breakdown), GPU, and network (prefers default-route interface totals when available).
  • Per-process detail — Inspectors: General, Args & environment, open files, sockets, libraries (with optional otool for dylibs), code signing, entitlements, startup-related items, and History charts (memory and network over time).
  • Click to inspect — Pick a window under the cursor and jump to the owning process in the tree (requires Accessibility).
  • Process control — Pause / resume (SIGSTOP / SIGCONT), terminate, and force quit on selected processes (with confirmation where appropriate).
  • Menu bar — Extra that shows a compact system overview and lets you open or hide the main window; the app can keep running with the main window closed.
  • Settings — Launch at login, menu-bar-only startup options, Dock and main window at launch, refresh interval, history length, filter/ancestor behavior, Shortcuts names for process start and exit (JSON on pasteboard + shortcuts:// URL), Accessibility and Full Disk Access helpers, library listing via otool, and check for updates.
  • Shortcuts integration — App Intent to read the clipboard JSON that triggers prepare for Shortcuts.
  • Platform — Native macOS 14+ app; not sandboxed; uses standard privacy prompts where needed (Accessibility, Full Disk Access for broader plist paths).
