AppHalt - A pause button for your Mac apps

AppHalt adds a pause button to macOS apps. Freeze any CPU-hungry Mac app without closing its windows, tabs or files. Your workspace stays intact, background activity stops, and you resume the app when needed. This major relaunch brings more reliable pause/resume, smarter app detection, smoother CPU monitoring, Auto-Pause and a cleaner macOS experience.
