New in Techtool Pro 20
Test Suggestions
Check Computer now keeps track of when you last ran a suite of tests, and will let you know when tests should be performed again. This data is available both in the app, and as a macOS Widget to help you stay on top of testing.
macOS Sequoia support
Techtool Pro has been fully updated and optimized for Apple's latest operating system, macOS Sequoia.
Improved Bluetooth Test
The Bluetooth test now keeps track of battery levels in Apple input devices, including all recent versions of the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad.
Expanded file Testing
The File Structures test has been updated to test a variety of additional modern file formats, including the formats used to capture photos on iPhone.
Improved Battery test
Techtool Pro includes under-the-hood improvements to the battery test. Testing for iOS device batteries has been updated from the ground up to better support Apple's latest battery technology.
Internal Improvements
Techtool Pro 20 continues to receive improvements to support the latest Macs, along with improvements in the tests and tools you rely on.
Highlighted Features
Techtool Monitor
Techtool Pro includes the option to install Techtool Monitor, which operates in the background to monitor several of your Mac's critical functions. In particular, you can configure Monitor to save APFS Snapshots, monitor the free space on your hard drives, and to monitor the SMART routines of your hard drives. Monitor also watches out for battery problems and RAID errors. If problems are found, Monitor delivers onscreen and email alerts. Monitor's interface can be accessed through both system preferences and Techtool Pro itself.
Emergency Startup Disk
If your startup disk stops working, and you need another startup disk, Techtool Pro's eDrive steps in to help. The eDrive is what you'll use to test, rebuild or defragment your main hard drive, but it is really helpful if your main startup disk goes missing. Instead of fumbling for your install DVD, or relying on the Recovery HD's limited functionality, the eDrive gives you quick access to Techtool Pro along with several handy Apple utilities. You can even add other programs if you like. Customize the size of your eDrive, up to 128 GB. Available on macOS 11 and earlier.*
Take It With You
The portability of Techtool Protogo is included with every copy of Techtool Pro. Techtool Protogo allows you to create a bootable diagnostic device that contains Techtool Pro and all of its most powerful tools as well as any of your own utilities you may wish to install. You can then use this device to boot, check, maintain, and repair Macintosh computers as needed. Simply launch Protogo, choose Protogo from the Mode menu, and use it to set up a diagnostic disk. Available on macOS 11 and earlier.**
Advanced Memory Testing
Techtool Pro's memory testing suite is the most comprehensive among general hardware utilities. Techtool Pro takes advantage of advancements used by ATOMIC, our dedicated Memory Tester, and integrates them into testing your memory. Now, memory is 'cleaned' before testing, reclaimed from macOS, maximizing the amount of RAM that can be tested.
Results on the Go
Techtool Pro supports iCloud Drive. Simply download the new Techtool Remote iOS app (free on the App Store), and open it. Techtool Pro will then send test results to any iOS device logged in to the same iCloud account. So if you have a long test (or tests) running that you want to know the results of, but you need to hit the road, you can now get notified of your results anywhere you have an internet connection.
File Testing
Many times, your Mac can deal with damaged files reasonably well. Sometimes, however, if your Mac tries to open a damaged file, problems can arise. Techtool Pro can test a variety of file types to confirm that they are valid. File types include pictures (.gif, .jpeg, .png), databases (.plist, .xml), as well as other multimedia files (.pdf, .mp3, .mpeg) and more. Files can be revealed in the Finder for further inspection, or excluded from future testing, if desired.
Drive Testing and Repair
Your Mac's hard drive, even if it is a Solid State Drive, is more likely to experience problems than any other component on your Mac. Because data changes so frequently, it can sometimes get scrambled. So, it's important to be able to test drives for problems and then repair them. Sadly, if something is physically wrong with the drive, it will need to be backed up and replaced, but the sooner this type of damage is detected, the fewer files - like cherished memories and important personal documents - will be lost. Most drive problems, however, result from data being in the wrong place, and can be repaired using Techtool Pro's Volume Rebuild tool. In addition to native Mac drive formats, Mac OS Extended and APFS, Techtool Pro supports testing and repair of MS-DOS (FAT32) and ExFAT formatted volumes.
Protect Important Data
The best way to prevent data loss is to be prepared. In addition to a backup, Techtool Pro includes Techtool Monitor, which can save additional APFS snapshots, allowing you to undelete that file you didn't mean to delete. The Snapshot Recovery tool assists in recovering data from APFS volumes. Better yet, use Techtool Pro's Volume Cloning tool to create an additional backup.
Mac and iOS Battery Testing
Techtool Pro has been able to test your Mac's battery for quite a while. Recent reports have shown that battery condition can affect the performance of your iPhone and iPad. If your iOS device is connected to your Mac, Techtool Pro can now test your device's battery, and give you a host of other important battery data as well. Find out if your iPhone or iPad is running at its full potential.
Check Computer Suites
Using the Check Computer Suites, you can set up a variety of test suites for your needs. Use the built-in Full, Intermediate or Quick suites or make your own suite of tests to perfectly suit your needs. The Full Suite does what it sounds like, running every test and checking every drive. The Intermediate Suite leaves out the Surface Scan test to help save time, while the Quick Suite tests your Mac excluding your disks, for a quick look at the health of your Mac's hardware. Customize any of these or create your own suite from scratch to test your Mac exactly as you would like.
