## Useful for

- Find a process holding a file descriptor or DLL via the lower pane and kill it
- Check a running app's code signature, Team ID and notarization status
- Watch CPU, memory, disk and network graphs in the System Information window

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:03–11:14: 907 → 926 stars (+19). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +44 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- Hacker News: “Process Explorer for macOS” — 235 points, 4 days ago.

## Star trust

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
