macOS

Implementation

macOS support uses native Apple tools and frameworks.

Technologies Used

• system_profiler - Hardware information
• CoreGraphics - Display properties and refresh rate
• pmset - Battery information
• sysinfo crate - Storage and network

Data Sources

Information	Source	Command/API
Model	system_profiler	SPHardwareDataType -json
UUID	system_profiler	platform_UUID
Serial	system_profiler	serial_number
Battery	pmset	pmset -g batt
Refresh Rate	CoreGraphics	CGDisplay.displayMode()

Testing Commands

# Hardware info (JSON)
system_profiler SPHardwareDataType -json

# Formatted output
system_profiler SPHardwareDataType -json | jq '.SPHardwareDataType[0]'

# Battery status
pmset -g batt

# Hostname
hostname

Special Notes

Manufacturer

The manufacturer is always returned as "Apple Inc." since all Macs are made by Apple.

Device Name

On macOS 12+, the device name requires special access. The plugin falls back to hostname if unavailable.

ProMotion Displays

For ProMotion displays (variable refresh rate), refreshRate may return null or the maximum rate.
