Is memory what's holding your Mac back? It records when your Mac actually ran short of memory, for how long, and how much macOS had to move to the disk as swap. Over 30 days, the records show whether it was a one-off or part of your normal day. The slowdown timeline, the menu bar status, the Live view, History and widgets need a weekly or yearly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase; new weekly subscribers get a 7-day free trial. Preview with Sample Data, on the welcome and plans screens, shows the app first with example data. What counts as a shortage A shortage is recorded only when, for at least a few minutes, macOS kept moving memory to and from the disk or reported Critical memory pressure. That's when switching apps or tabs can lag. Tight memory below Critical, without that back-and-forth, shows "Nothing is slowing down yet" and never counts. Each shortage, explained Each one shows when it happened, how much went to swap if any, a plain-language note on how that can make apps pause, and what to try: quit apps and close tabs you aren't using, or restart if swap stays large. One click opens Activity Monitor. Evidence over time History charts memory and swap over the same 30 days. When memory ran short on 4 or more of the last 7 days, the app tells you, with what to try before you buy a Mac with more memory. Not only memory Memory comes first, but the timeline also records other slowdowns: • a processor that stays nearly fully busy for minutes • heat that macOS reports may reduce performance • a startup disk running low on space • heavy disk activity during a slowdown • Low Power Mode and fast battery drain on a MacBook, as notes What it doesn't do The app only reads what macOS reports. It doesn't close apps, delete your files or change how macOS handles memory. It doesn't track individual apps and never names one as the cause. Memory in the menu bar A status dot changes while memory or something else is under strain; beside it, a gauge shows swap in use and memory pressure. Click the dot for live readings and your latest slowdown. Widgets show memory pressure and swap, or your Mac's status. Your readings stay on your Mac No account needed. Readings are saved once a minute, kept for 30 days and stored only on this Mac. Recording happens only while the app runs, so turn on Open at Login. How subscriptions work: your Apple Account is charged when you confirm the purchase or, after a free trial, when the trial ends. A subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends; the renewal is charged within those 24 hours. Cancel a trial at least 24 hours before it ends to avoid a charge. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Buying a subscription during a free trial forfeits the rest of the trial. Prices can differ between countries. Restore Purchases is on the plans screen.
