What it does
This Mac’s model and model identifier, chip, CPU cores (performance and efficiency) and GPU cores, and memory.
The macOS version with its name and build number, how long since it started up, and the free space on the startup disk (orange when less than a tenth is left).
For each display: how big it looks, its actual pixels and its refresh rate.
Copy it all in one go for a bug report or when asking for help. The serial number stays hidden until you click Show, and is copied only then.
Install it
Plugins aren’t part of the Pop download. Install this one when you need it.
1From Settings
In Pop’s Settings › Actions, find “System Info” under Plugins at the top and click Install. It downloads from Pop’s GitHub release in a few seconds and works right away, without a restart.
2Or from the ring
Open All Actions on the ring and search for “System Info”. Plugins that aren’t installed are listed after your actions: click it to install, and it runs right away if it can handle what you selected.
3Then use it your way
Put it on the ring in Settings › Ring, give it a shortcut, or run it from Shortcuts and scripts with its link:
pop://run?plugin=systemInfoUninstall it from the same list when you no longer need it: the plugin and its settings are deleted. After Pop updates, installed plugins are updated with it, and with iCloud sync on, what you install syncs to your other Macs.
