Know why your Mac is slow

Visit

About

iKnowMyMac shows which app is slowing your Mac, grouping all helper processes under their parent apps and aggregating CPU, memory, and battery usage. It provides a one‑line verdict, ranked causes, and an easy‑to‑apply fix for each issue. The tool also tracks history, battery drain, network activity, and offers alerts and a clean dashboard without any telemetry.

The case

Who it is for

Mac users who notice performance issues but lack a clear diagnostic tool.

What is broken today

Mac users rely on Activity Monitor, which lists hundreds of processes but offers limited insight, making it difficult to determine which apps or helpers are causing slowdown.

What it does about it

iKnowMyMac parses macOS process data, groups helper processes under their parent apps, aggregates resource usage, and displays it in a concise dashboard with actionable fixes.

Why not the obvious alternative

Unlike Activity Monitor, which shows every helper separately, iKnowMyMac aggregates them under the main app, provides a single‑line verdict, ranked causes, a 30‑day history timeline, battery and network forensics, alerts, and an integrated command palette—all without requiring a subscription.

    I wanted to know why my Mac was slow. Activity Monitor showed me hundreds of processes and no answer. So I built iKnowMyMac: it puts those processes under the apps you know and tells you, in one line, what is slowing your Mac down.
