Are you curious to find out how often your Mac has been rebooted or shut down? Or how long your Mac has been running without a reboot? Checking your Mac’s uptime, reboot, and shutdown history can provide valuable insights into the performance and usage of your device. And your Mac allows you to find that out! This article will guide you on how to check your Mac’s uptime, reboot, and shutdown history.

How to Check Your Mac’s Uptime, Reboot and Shutdown History

By having a detailed record of your Mac’s activity, you can learn more about your Mac’s usage patterns, optimize its performance, and make more informed decisions about how to use and care for your device. With that out of the way, let’s begin with the article. 

Note: We are running on macOS Ventura 13.0.1. The methods and steps mentioned in the article may or may not change depending on the macOS version you are running on.

2 Ways to See Your Mac’s Uptime History

There are multiple ways you can get to know about your Mac’s uptime. We will use Mac’s System Infomation and Terminal to find uptime on Mac. The methods and steps mentioned below are straightforward and simple to execute. Let’s begin.

Method 1: Check Uptime on Mac Using System Information

System Information is one of the most common and easiest ways to find your Mac’s uptime. Follow the steps below.

Step 1: Hold the Option key on your keyboard and click the Apple icon at the top-left corner of your screen.

Note: Alternatively, click on the Apple icon at the top left corner, select ‘About This Mac,’ click on the More Info button, and under About, scroll down and click on System Report. 

" alt="click the Apple icon at the top-left corner of your screen" width="640" style="max-width:100%" data-src="/uploads/20240914/172630520366e553b3e6156.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_2-1024x642.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_2-768x481.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_2.jpg 1296w" data-sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />

Step 2: From the drop-down menu, select System Information.

" alt="select System Information" width="640" style="max-width:100%" data-src="/uploads/20240914/172630520466e553b4879a6.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_3-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_3-768x507.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_3.jpg 1504w" data-sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />

Step 3: In the left pane, click on Software.

" alt="click on Software" width="640" style="max-width:100%" data-src="/uploads/20240914/172630520566e553b5a6e00.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_4-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_4-768x518.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_4-1536x1036.jpg 1536w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_4.jpg 1846w" data-sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />

In the right pane, under System software overview, you can see the ‘Time since boot.’ 

" alt="under System software overview" width="640" style="max-width:100%" data-src="/uploads/20240914/172630520666e553b65b61a.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_5-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_5-768x518.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_5-1536x1036.jpg 1536w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_5.jpg 1854w" data-sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />

Time since boot dictates the last time your Mac was booted, apparently giving the uptime of your Mac. There’s another way to check Mac’s uptime, which involves using Terminal. Continue reading.

Method 2: How to See Mac’s Uptime Using Terminal

Finding Mac’s uptime using Terminal is relatively simple. The involvement of the Terminal may make the steps look complicated, but it is not. Let’s show you.

Step 1: Press the ‘Command Space bar’ on your keyboard to open Spotlight Search, type Terminal, and press Return.

Note: If the step seems confusing, there are different ways to open the Terminal on Mac

" alt="type Terminal" width="640" style="max-width:100%" data-src="/uploads/20240914/172630520666e553b6e7c38.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_6-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_6-768x500.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_6.jpg 1508w" data-sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />

Step 2: Now, type the below command and press Return.

uptime

" alt="type the below command" width="640" style="max-width:100%" data-src="/uploads/20240914/172630520766e553b7725a0.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_7-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_7-768x491.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_7.jpg 1224w" data-sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />

The above command will let you know when your Mac last rebooted, a count of how many days and minutes, the number of users, and finally, load averages.

Note: You may wonder about 2 users; it is the norm that Macs follow. Aside from your user account, your Mac also needs a root macOS account to function.

" alt="let you know the time your Mac was last rebooted" width="640" style="max-width:100%" data-src="/uploads/20240914/172630520866e553b83995f.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_10-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_10-768x491.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads//Check-Your-Macs-Uptime_10.jpg 1224w" data-sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />

There you go. Pretty easy to follow. Well, if you don’t just want to settle with uptime, you can also view your Mac’s reboot history. Keep reading.
