MacUpdate Promo
a deal a day on macintosh software
CheckUp... With its use of the latest Mac OS X technologies, breakthrough ease-of-use and innovation, all Mac users will find CheckUp extremely useful and even fun. It's like the dashboard of your car! CheckUp is first designed to monitor the usage of CPU, Memory, Disk Drives and Network Adapters. You can display detailed information about all running processes and pause or terminate these at any time. By adding rules that will be triggered when certain conditions are met for a specified resource on the computer, you can receive visual notifications. For example, CheckUp can alert you when a certain resource exceeds a certain value or when a hard drive seems to have hardware failures, even when the application is not opened (thanks to an innovative background process and the use of the S.M.A.R.T technology). One of the most innovative feature of CheckUp is the ability to monitor a Mac on a network or via internet. It's a powerful feature for IT administrators interested to check a remote computer or a remote server (one user license of CheckUp can be installed on two computers) |

Plasterpyrus said today at 12:25am No, really it has a nice interface but fifty bucks not even twentyfive when iStat Pro does have a lot of the same information, but for free! |
shaggymac said today at 8:33am the only good feature is remote monitoring. otherwise this app is just like istat pro (which is free) or activity monitor. Anyways, keep up the good work with your app and in the next release include some compelling feature that can not be obtained for free from some other application. (maybe include Apple Remote Shutdown that is part of the new intel based xserves or keep track of CPU, memory, etc history so a user can see what the normal consumption is |
ILikeCheese said today at 12:06am For those with Apple Care, this is not a sensible app to buy. If you still have your Apple Care registration number, you can upgrade the TechTool Deluxe that came with it. Here's the link: http://www.micromat.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=33&category_id=6&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80 The $60 price tag is high, but for those willing, TechTool Pro is better. |
jables said today at 7:34am does seem good for the IT / Network Admin folks for remote work, but NOT for the individual. Heck, Activity Monitor and NetInfo will show you most of this anyways. |
Aviateur said today at 7:30am Not likely a product that I would pay 50$ not even at half price, still to expensive. The demo video could have included some naration , it could have given a boost to their pitch sale. I'll pass. Thank you. Istat pro, a little widget is nice enough and other software are also able to control your application information. |
vancouver2010 said today at 11:39am Awesome interface, but an unreliable app at best. I have an intel iMac and my system became unruly moments after installing the demo. Many of its features (can't remember what they were right now, but there were more than just a couple)wouldn't even work. |
JewKarma said today at 10:55am That is to say I have iStat Pro, but not this and i wann make sure I am not missing anything. |

Much of this you can monitor with a free widget call iStat Pro. The customizations and ability to pause/stop processes sets Checkup apart from that.
Still, Checklup seems HUGELY overpriced for what it does. iStat Pro for monitoring, AppStop to stop apps (cheap shareware), etc. $50 is huge price for this app. The promo price is a more reasonable _regular_ price, but still high, really.
