Hey Product Hunt 👋 I came from Windows and had been used to Process Explorer for years. After moving to macOS, one thing I kept missing was a tool that felt just as convenient and informative for understanding what processes were really doing. Activity Monitor is useful for basic checks, but I often wanted answers to deeper questions like: 🎯 Which process owns this specific window? (Yes, the classic crosshair tool!) 💻 How was this process launched? What are its exact command-line arguments and environment variables? 🔐 Is it properly signed, and what entitlements does it actually request? 📂 What files, network connections, and dylibs is it actively using? 👻 What was that helper process that just flashed and disappeared? So I built ProcXray — a native macOS process explorer for developers, power users, and anyone who wants more visibility than Activity Monitor provides. Core features include: ✨ Process tree view & deep inspection ✨ Regex search across all processes ✨ Window-to-process lookup ✨ Lifecycle tracking & real-time resource history ✨ Security & code-signing details at a glance A few principles I stuck to while building it: 🍏 Native macOS experience: 🔒 Privacy first: Local-only by default. ✅ Secure: Fully code-signed and Apple notarized. 🛠 Practical: Built for real day-to-day debugging, not just looking cool in demos. If you’ve ever missed Process Explorer on Mac, I’d love to hear from you: what’s one thing you wish Activity Monitor exposed better?
