AI System Usage · Effective and Last Updated: September 30, 2026
These Terms of Use govern your use of AI System Usage for macOS (the "App"), provided by AGM Apps. By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
When you get the App from Apple's Mac App Store, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement and applicable App Store Usage Rules also apply. These Terms supplement, and do not replace, those Apple terms. If they conflict, the Apple terms or any mandatory law that applies to you will control. A development or pre-release copy is covered by these Terms as well.
Section 14 contains a binding individual arbitration agreement, a class action waiver, and a jury trial waiver. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days, as described in Section 14.7.
Subject to these Terms and, for a Mac App Store copy, Apple's Usage Rules, AGM Apps grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the App on Apple-branded Macs you own or are allowed to administer. You may use it for lawful personal or internal business purposes. The App is licensed, not sold, and AGM Apps reserves all rights not expressly granted.
The current version of the App has no AGM Apps account, subscription, or in-app purchase. If a released version is offered for a price on the Mac App Store, Apple processes payment, tax, billing, Family Sharing eligibility, and refunds. Product availability, price, currency, and territory restrictions are controlled by Apple and by the information shown in the App Store at the time of the transaction.
AGM Apps does not receive your payment card, billing address, or Apple Account credentials. Refund requests for an App Store purchase must be submitted to Apple and are subject to Apple's refund process and applicable law. AGM Apps cannot directly issue or approve an App Store refund.
AI System Usage is an informational macOS utility. It can show memory pressure and memory categories, processor use, recognized AI apps and the processor use and memory attributed to them, SSD life and free space, GPU use, power and battery detail when the Mac has a battery, fan speed, thermal state, and an optional login item. The in-app Privacy Policy and Terms of Use links open the matching pages on agmapps.net in your browser.
The App does not change system files, control fan speed, or replace Apple Diagnostics. It is not a calibrated electrical, storage, or safety instrument.

The meter describes the Mac it is running on. It is not a product for watching someone else's computer.
Processor, memory, fan, storage, graphics, battery, and power values depend on information published by your Mac's hardware, firmware, and macOS. Availability varies by Mac model, operating-system version, and current system state. If a value is unavailable, the App may hide that item.
Power figures are calculated on the Mac from published telemetry. They can differ from a charger's printed rating or from an external meter. SSD life remaining is the drive's own percentage-used figure, expressed as the percent still unused. It is not a prediction of failure, and it is not advice to repair or replace a drive.
AI recognition uses a built-in list of known tools. For a limited number of script interpreters, the App may read a short command line to see whether that process is one of those tools, as described in the Privacy Policy. The list can miss a tool, count a helper process with the app that started it, or change in a later version. Do not rely on the App for safety-critical, medical, warranty, repair, employment-monitoring, or electrical decisions.
The AI System Usage Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information. Readings are processed on your Mac. The App does not send them to AGM Apps. Choosing the in-app Privacy Policy or Terms of Use link opens the page in your browser. The browser's visit is covered by the AGM Apps Website Privacy Policy.
AGM Apps and its licensors own the App, its original interface, branding, graphics, code, and documentation. Apple, macOS, Mac, App Store, and related marks are trademarks or materials of Apple Inc. Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of AGM Apps or Apple intellectual property.
AI System Usage is an independent product. The names of the AI apps and tools it recognizes, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok, and Ollama, are trademarks of their respective owners. They are shown only to identify the software running on your Mac. AGM Apps is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI, Anysphere, xAI, Ollama, or any other owner of a recognized tool, and those companies are not responsible for the App.
If you voluntarily send suggestions or feedback, you allow AGM Apps to use them without restriction or payment, provided we do not publicly identify you without permission.
The App relies on macOS and Apple frameworks, including AppKit, SwiftUI, IOKit, and ServiceManagement. Apple controls the Mac App Store, Apple Account authentication, transaction processing, refunds, operating-system permissions, and availability of those services. Your use of them is subject to Apple's terms and privacy practices.
The App does not contact a third-party service of its own. Links to agmapps.net and to Apple's pages are provided so you can read the matching policy or terms. Those sites' terms apply when you visit them. AGM Apps is responsible for the App as required by the Standard EULA. Apple is not responsible for providing App support.
AGM Apps may add, change, suspend, or remove features, and may release maintenance, compatibility, security, or feature updates. Mac App Store updates are delivered by Apple. We do not promise a particular update schedule, a particular release date, or continued compatibility with every Mac or macOS version.
Discontinuing future distribution does not convert the license into ownership or guarantee that an installed copy will continue working with later hardware, macOS releases, or Apple services.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. AGM APPS DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
AGM APPS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY DEVICE OR CONFIGURATION, OR THAT EVERY READING OR AI-APP MATCH WILL BE AVAILABLE, CURRENT, COMPLETE, OR ACCURATE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO THESE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS RIGHTS THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE WAIVED.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AGM APPS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OR USE, ARISING FROM THE APP OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF AGM APPS WAS ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AGM APPS' TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE APP OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $50. THIS LIMIT APPLIES IN THE AGGREGATE TO ALL CLAIMS, AND MULTIPLE CLAIMS DO NOT ENLARGE IT. THESE LIMITATIONS REFLECT AN AGREED ALLOCATION OF RISK AND APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FOR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED, INCLUDING RIGHTS YOU HAVE UNDER MANDATORY CONSUMER LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER RESIDENT IN THE EEA OR THE UNITED KINGDOM, THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE MANDATORY CONSUMER LAW OF YOUR COUNTRY.
Your license ends automatically if you materially violate these Terms. If that happens, you must stop using and remove the App. Provisions that by their nature should continue, including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, dispute resolution, and general legal provisions, survive termination.
AGM Apps may update these Terms when the App, its business model, applicable law, or Apple requirements change. The date at the top identifies the current version. If a change materially affects existing users, we will provide notice where reasonably practical or legally required. Changes do not retroactively alter a completed purchase or remove rights that cannot be waived.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND AGM APPS TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, AND IT CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND A JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS AT NO COST. SEE SECTION 14.7.
To the extent a matter is governed by these supplemental Terms rather than Apple's Standard EULA, these Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the App, are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Sections 14.3 through 14.7 are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection law of the country where you habitually reside, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Sections 14.3 and 14.4 do not apply to you.
Before starting arbitration or any other formal proceeding, you and AGM Apps agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days. To begin, send an individually signed Notice of Dispute to [email protected] with the subject line "Notice of Dispute." Include (a) your full name and mailing address, (b) the email address or Apple Account region you use with the App and roughly when you started using it, (c) a specific description of what happened and why you believe you have a claim, and (d) the specific relief you want, including any amount. A Notice submitted on behalf of multiple users, or missing any of these elements, does not start the sixty-day period. AGM Apps will send you an equivalent notice before starting any claim against you. Completing this process is a condition precedent to starting arbitration. All applicable limitation periods are paused while it is under way.
If a dispute is not resolved under Section 14.2, you and AGM Apps agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App, including claims that arose before you accepted these Terms and claims arising after these Terms end, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, and not in court, except as provided in Sections 14.5 and 14.7.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and, where applicable, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, each as in effect when the arbitration begins. The rules are available at adr.org or 1-800-778-7879. A single arbitrator will preside. If your claim is for US $25,000 or less, it will be decided on the documents alone unless the arbitrator decides a hearing is needed. Any hearing may be held by telephone or video, and any in-person hearing will take place where you live. The arbitrator may award any individual relief a court could award, but only in favor of the individual party seeking it. The award is final and binding, and judgment may be entered on it in any court of competent jurisdiction. If AAA's rules require you to pay a filing fee, AGM Apps will reimburse it on your written request for any claim seeking US $10,000 or less, unless the arbitrator finds the claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. Each party pays its own attorneys' fees and costs unless a statute or the award provides otherwise.
Delegation. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, except that only a court may decide any dispute about the enforceability, validity, or scope of the class action waiver in Section 14.4.
Coordinated filings. If twenty-five (25) or more Notices of Dispute or arbitration demands raising substantially similar claims are submitted against AGM Apps within any ninety (90) day period by or with the help of coordinated counsel, those claims will be administered under AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules and resolved in sequential batches of no more than fifty (50) claimants, with one arbitrator and one set of fees per batch. All limitation periods stay paused for claims awaiting a batch.
YOU AND AGM APPS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
TO THE EXTENT ANY CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND AGM APPS EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This waiver applies whether or not you opt out of arbitration under Section 14.7.
If a court or arbitrator decides that any part of this Section 14.4 is unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed, brought in court, and stayed pending arbitration of everything else. However, if the first paragraph of this Section 14.4 is held unenforceable as to all of your claims, then Sections 14.3 and 14.4 are void as to those claims, and the dispute will be resolved in court under Section 14.5. The parties do not consent to class, collective, consolidated, or representative arbitration. This paragraph controls over the general severability provision in Section 14.8.
Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in a small-claims court that has jurisdiction, so long as it stays an individual claim there, (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to stop actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, and (c) bring an action to compel arbitration or to enforce an award.
For any claim not subject to arbitration, and for all claims if Sections 14.3 and 14.4 are held unenforceable or you opt out under Section 14.7, you and AGM Apps consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of Florida, United States, and each party waives any objection to that venue, including on grounds of forum non conveniens, except where mandatory consumer-protection law entitles you to bring proceedings where you live.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App must be started within one (1) year after the claim accrues, or it is permanently barred. This does not apply where the law of your jurisdiction prohibits shortening the limitation period.
You can decline arbitration and keep your right to go to court. Email [email protected] with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms. Include your full name, the email address you use to contact AGM Apps, and a clear statement that you are opting out. Opting out is free, takes effect when we receive it, applies only to you, and will not affect your access to the App or any feature. If you opt out, Section 14.3 and the class action waiver in the first paragraph of Section 14.4 do not apply to you. The jury trial waiver in Section 14.4 and Sections 14.1, 14.5, and 14.6 continue to apply.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AGM Apps from any claim, loss, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. This indemnity does not apply to consumers resident in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom.
If any provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue, subject to Section 14.4. AGM Apps' failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without written consent. AGM Apps may assign them with the App or related business. AGM Apps is not liable for a failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including changes to macOS, Apple services, or Mac hardware. Headings are for convenience only, and "including" means "including without limitation." These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable Apple terms form the agreement governing the App.
The App is subject to United States export-control and sanctions laws. You represent that you are not located in a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions and are not on a U.S. Government restricted-party list, and you agree to comply with those laws and the laws where you use the App.
