Live System Telemetry & Resource Relief

List the processes using the most memory (RAM), ranked by real resident footprint — the answer to 'what's eating my RAM?'. Complements the CPU-ranked process list.

Report the full memory picture in plain English: wired (OS-pinned), compressed, app-active, reclaimable file cache, free, swap in use, and the swap files on disk — and why 'memory used' looks high on a healthy Mac.

Watch one process's memory for ~12 seconds and report whether it grew — a leak hint, honestly framed as a hint rather than proof.

Report CPU load in depth: 1/5/15-minute load averages with a plain-English load-vs-cores verdict, the user/system/idle split, and the core topology (performance + efficiency cores on Apple silicon).

List the apps macOS currently marks Not Responding (the Force Quit dialog signal), read from the system's own unresponsive flag — then a force quit can be offered with eyes open.

Deep-profile one running app by name: its CPU, memory, share of RAM, thread count, open files/sockets count, and how long it's been running — one combined read.

Show one process's family tree: the ancestry chain from launchd down to it, plus its child processes — what spawned what. An app launched by an unexpected parent is a classic red flag.

List what one process currently has open: its files and folders, plus network-socket and pipe counts.

Measure live disk activity over ~1 second: real read/write MB/s per disk, plus which processes moved the most disk bytes in that second.

Report free/used space for every mounted volume — internal, external, USB — including APFS purgeable space (the hidden reclaimable space that makes free-space numbers disagree).

Show which apps are moving data on the network right now (live per-second rate) and which have moved the most since they launched — per-app download/upload figures, read locally with zero probing.

Report the data moved through each network interface (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, VPN tunnels, AirDrop) since the last boot.

Report the Mac's sleep and power settings in plain English: display/system/disk sleep timers (battery vs power adapter), Power Nap, Low Power Mode, hibernation mode, and wake-for-network-access.

Report Spotlight indexing state per volume and whether the indexer is actively working right now — explains both a broken search and 'mds' CPU activity.

Report FileVault disk-encryption state including conversion progress — when encryption or decryption is mid-run it shows the percent completed.

Flush the disk cache from RAM (macOS 'purge', needs admin) and report the before/after free memory honestly. The relief is transient — macOS refills its cache by design — so the durable fix is quitting the top consumers.

Restart the Dock or the Finder — the classic safe fix when the Dock freezes or Finder windows stop responding. The component relaunches automatically within seconds; open apps and files are untouched.

Change when the Mac sleeps: set the display-sleep timer and optionally the system-sleep timer, in minutes of inactivity. Applies to both battery and power adapter; needs admin.

Get a complete one-shot health snapshot of this Mac — the same data as Cyclone's System Info panel — in a single call: device, security posture, network, memory and top RAM users, storage including purgeable space, battery with temperature, CPU with top consumers, and display/GPU, each with a plain-English verdict. All on-device.
