A native macOS menu bar app that monitors CPU usage and alerts you when a process has been using high CPU for an extended period.
- Menu bar icon that fades from green → yellow → red as high CPU duration increases
- Notification with process name and PID after 60 seconds of sustained 90%+ CPU usage
- Optional "Run on Login" via LaunchAgent
- Zero third-party dependencies — pure Swift + AppKit
- macOS 11.0+
- Xcode Command Line Tools (
xcode-select --install)
