	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>SMCReader</strong> is a lightweight macOS menu bar sensor monitor designed for <strong>Hackintosh systems</strong>, <strong>Intel Macs</strong>, <strong>AMD Hackintosh builds</strong>, and <strong>Apple Silicon Macs</strong>. It reads real-time hardware sensor data using <strong>VirtualSMC</strong>, <strong>FakeSMC</strong>, AppleSMC-compatible keys, and supported sensor plugins, providing a clean and fast way to monitor temperatures, fans, voltages, power usage, storage health, battery data, and GPU/iGPU sensors directly from the macOS menu bar.</span></span>
</p>

<p style="color:#000000;">
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">The app is especially useful for Hackintosh users who need a modern alternative to traditional SMC monitoring tools. SMCReader supports sensor data from <strong>Intel CPUs</strong>, <strong>AMD CPUs via SMCAMDProcessor</strong>, <strong>Intel iGPU</strong>, <strong>AMD GPUs</strong>, compatible dGPUs, storage sensors, fan tachometers, voltage rails, current sensors, power readings, and thermal zones when the correct VirtualSMC or FakeSMC plugins are installed.</span></span>
</p>

<p style="color:#000000;">
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">Security and stability are also a major focus. SMCReader is a <strong>read-only sensor monitoring app</strong>. It does not install kexts, does not use a privileged helper, does not write SMC keys, does not modify system files, and does not collect user data. The app is designed for fast opening, low CPU usage, low memory usage, and real-time hardware monitoring with a clean dark glass interface.</span></span>
