MacSentinel brings Mac monitoring, diagnosis, storage analysis, and cleanup into one native workflow. Instead of simply showing system metrics or deleting generic caches, it explains likely causes of slowdowns locally, then helps you act safely. Smart Care includes 500+ app rules across 50 categories, covering developer, creative, productivity, and AI tools. Cleanup is Trash-first and recoverable, and Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built MacSentinel because I wanted a better answer to a simple question: **“Why does my Mac feel slow?”**
Most tools either give you raw system metrics or focus mainly on cleaning. MacSentinel connects the two — **see what’s happening, understand why, and fix it safely.**
You can monitor memory, CPU, network, disk, and processes, run local diagnostics, visualize storage, and use Smart Care to find app-specific caches, build artifacts, scratch files, and other leftovers across **500+ app rules**.
It’s especially useful for Macs running tools like Xcode, Docker, Adobe apps, Final Cut Pro, Figma, VS Code, and Ollama.
Safety was a major part of the design: cleanup is **Trash-first, explicit, and recoverable**.
MacSentinel Pro is a **one-time purchase — no subscription.**
🎉 **Product Hunt launch offer: 50% off MacSentinel Pro with code `PHLAUNCH50`.**
I’d love to hear from developers, designers, creators, and Mac power users:
**What’s the biggest thing making your Mac harder to manage today?**
