Hi Product Hunters!
I built Smack because the stuff I want to know about my Mac is scattered in different places and the notch is dead space I look at all day. So I put a monitor there and added all the stuff that I want to know on what is happening on my computer.
It started as a CPU/Memory/Disk/Network graph and grew into something more: manage startup items, show those perky hidden top bar icons, investigate a running process, check network connections, see which folder ate your disk and more.
Honest notes: it's Apple Silicon, macOS 15+. Releases aren't notarized yet because I don't have a Developer ID, so the Homebrew cask removes the quarantine flag (or see the README for the manual steps).
Tool is 100% free, open source, all data is local, no ads, no telemetry, no freemium, no subscriptions.
It has been vibe coded (hopefully with sanity) and I kinda feel embarrassed to ask for money for something I had fun doing, without any Swift knowledge, in a relatively short time.
If you think it's worth it, you can use the GitHub Sponsor option, but bug reports and sharing is really what makes the difference for me.
I'd love to hear which pages you'd use most and what's missing. Thanks for looking!
