Bytebud

Bytebud is a Mac menu bar app with a tiny creature that shows your Mac's health at a glance. Instead of a wall of graphs or a thousand processes in Activity Monitor, Bytebud folds memory pressure, heat, battery and disk space into one little face, and the worst signal wins. When something looks off, the creature turns Sick, Sweaty, Sleepy or Stuffed, and Bytebud points to the cause with a one-click fix, such as quitting the app hogging memory, closing one of the busiest apps when your Mac runs hot, switching on Low Power Mode or emptying the Trash when your disk is nearly full, always after you confirm. When everything is normal it's Happy, and you can pet it, watch it do tricks and build care streaks. Press R for a full report with a mood timeline, every vital over time and one row per app with Quit and Restart buttons. Bytebud is tiny and quiet, using around 0.17% idle CPU and 17 MB of memory, with no analytics or tracking. Key Features: - Menu Bar Creature: memory, heat, battery and disk folded into one face - Five Moods: Sick, Sweaty, Sleepy, Stuffed and Happy show what's wrong - One-Click Fixes: quit memory hogs, cool things down or free up disk space - Full Report: mood timeline, vitals over time and per-app Quit and Restart - Light and Private: tiny CPU and memory footprint, no tracking Bytebud makes keeping an eye on your Mac's health fun and effortless, with an early-bird one-time price of $5.99 (then $9.99).
