Hi Product Hunt, I'm Deepak. I built iKnowMyMac because every system monitor gave me numbers and left me to work out the answer.
Press "Why is my Mac slow?" and it reads the last hour, ranks the causes and shows the evidence, like "Docker and 3 simulators took 14.6 GB and pushed 4.2 GB into swap". Each cause has one action.
It also shows what's filling your disk, what kept your Mac awake overnight, per-app volume, updates for your other apps, and a log of every USB device that connects.
It's for Apple silicon Macs on macOS 15 or later. No account, no analytics in the app.
Price: $4.99 one-time for the first 100 licenses, then $9.99. There's no trial, but a 14-day refund, no questions.
I launched on 1 October and 41 people have bought it so far. I'd love to know what it finds on your Mac, and what's missing.
@new_user___1042026c76a2003a4f76c2a The overnight battery drain caught my attention. I've definitely woken up to a lower battery than expected. Would be interesting to see what was keeping it awake all night.

Thanks Robert.
Big overnight drain almost always means the Mac didn't stay asleep. Something held it awake, or kept waking it.
iKnowMyMac's Sleep & Battery tab does that for you: a timeline of last night, each wake with its reason, and an estimate of the drain by app, like "Docker kept your Mac awake for 2h 10m".
@new_user___1042026c76a2003a4f76c2a Does it help narrow things down when you've got Docker an IDE and 30 Chrome tabs open? That's usually when my Mac starts acting up..
@vhim_jana
That's exactly the case I built it for. Activity Monitor shows Chrome as dozens of helper processes. iKnowMyMac groups them back into one Chrome, so you see Docker, your IDE and Chrome side by side.
"Why is my Mac slow?" then reads the last hour and ranks the causes with the evidence, for example "Docker and 3 simulators took 14.6 GB and pushed 4.2 GB into swap". Each cause has one action next to it.
If you try it on that setup, I'd love to hear what it ranks first.
