Free, open-source menu bar app for macOS that splits RAM by user account, groups helper processes into their apps, and shows memory pressure, swap, and a short history. Built for shared Macs, light enough for any Mac. No network, no tracking
Hi Product Hunt, Im the developer of MemStats
I built it because our team shares a few Macs, and when one got slow, Activity Monitor told me which processes were big but not whose they were. MemStats answers that in one click: a donut of RAM by user, then the top apps and processes for everyone or for the user you pick
A few details I cared about:
- Top Apps/Top Processes shows what the user actually launched (Chrome, VS Code, Node, Dart/Flutter,...)
- The menu bar title turns green, orange, or red from the same pressure signal Activity Monitor uses
- History is kept in memory only (about ten minutes), as a line chart or a heatmap
- No network requests, 8 languages, MIT licensed
Honest caveat: the build is not notarized yet, so the first launch needs Open Anyway in System Settings
I'd love feedback on what you'd want to see next
