Hi Product Hunt! 👋

My MacBook kept spinning up its fans and I kept opening Activity Monitor, squinting at 400 processes, and still not knowing who to blame. So I made a pea that sweats instead.

What it does

Sits in your menu bar and changes face with CPU load: chill → warm → sweating → meltdown
Click it to see who's doing it. Chrome helpers are grouped under Chrome, and things like WindowServer or Spotlight get a one-line plain-English explanation
Memory and storage at a glance, plus which app is holding the most memory
Every hour it asks for a two-minute break. It naps when you're away, gives you side-eye if you keep typing, and stays quiet on calls and in full screen

A few honest notes

It uses about 1% of one core (~0.1% of the whole Mac) and ~45 MB. It shows its own number in the list, because a monitor that heats your Mac would be a bit much
No account, no analytics. It never reads what you type; it only notices that you're typing during a break
Notarized by Apple, Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 14+
Free forever for the pea, the blame list and the breaks. Free also includes Sweat Wrapped and a week of history. Pro adds full history, the sweat calendar, share and roast cards, "what changed" in memory, storage and folders, and two extra voices. Every new install gets a 14-day Pro trial, then it's $9.99 once. No subscription

I'll be here all day answering questions. What's the app that makes your Mac sweat the most? 🫛
