VII. Usage Tips and Practical Cases

7.1 Tip 1: Customize Quick View

Set the CPU and memory modules to “Combined Window” mode. Press the preset shortcut (e.g., Option + M) to quickly bring up a dashboard containing all key data. This is more efficient than clicking each menu bar icon individually.

7.2 Tip 2: Memory Cleaning Practice

When you run large software such as Final Cut Pro or Photoshop, memory may not be fully released after quitting the program. Click the memory module and select “Release Memory” to clean the cache. It is recommended to do this once a week to keep the system smooth.

7.3 Tip 3: Battery Health Management

Enable “Smart Charging Recommendations” in the battery module. When the battery temperature is too high or the cycle count approaches the threshold, the software will remind you to disconnect the power. This is especially suitable for MacBook users who keep their devices plugged in for long periods.

7.4 Practical Case: Troubleshooting High-Load Processes

During a video editing session, the Mac fan suddenly started spinning rapidly. Opening the MenuBar Stats CPU module revealed that the “coreaudiod” process was using over 90% CPU. By right-clicking and force quitting the process, the system immediately returned to normal. This avoided the hassle of restarting the computer.
