Ever wondered what’s really going on under your Mac’s hood—or needed to pinpoint that one sneaky process hogging resources? Process Spy is your free, power-user upgrade to macOS process monitoring, leaving basic tools like Activity Monitor in the dust. This app dishes out real-time details on every running process—command lines, file access, network connections—and lets you highlight, filter, or kill them with a click. Developers can debug with ease, admins can track system health, and curious tinkerers can snoop around, all through a slick interface that’s as intuitive as it is deep. Click a process to find it in Finder, color-code your favorites, or automate with Shortcuts—Process Spy puts you in control. Built for macOS, it’s the pro-grade spyglass your system’s been begging for, all at zero cost.
