Processes overview

Processes is an application that gives you the ability to:

  • Zap Stalled Processes and Apps - If a process is stuck, Processes can kill it or restart it with pinpoint accuracy.
  • Pause Apps and Processes -Is a process bogging-down your system? Pause it and resume it later.
  • Monitor System Usage Per Process - Monitor each process' system usage, plus see its network connections and files.
Processes is a power-tool to help you monitor and take control of the processes running on your Mac. It provides both a wide overview of the activity on your system, while also allowing you to drill-down to the inner workings of each individual process.

Features:

  • Pause and resume apps and processes.
  • Zap unresponsive processes.
  • View which files each process is accessing, and find them in the finder.
  • View network connections for each process, to see what they're accessing.
  • Get user-friendly readouts of CPU and Memory usage per process.
  • Filter and sort processes by keyword, user, CPU usage, Memory Usage, and more.
  • Provides short descriptions of select processes.
  • Retina-ready graphics.

I've used the app for more than a year now, and I'm not happy with it. The main problem is that it is SLOW. Part of the reason that I can actually observe is that when I click on a running process, it goes out to its database of processes to show me what the process is for. Now, that would be useful if I actually wanted to know for a specific process, but in general I already know and I don't want to waste the screen space or the lookup time, which is particularly annoying if it can't find it (Firefox!). There is no way to hide that pane and stop that behaviour; I have to wait for it before I can kill the process, even when right-clicking on the app to act from the context menu.. I have no idea why else it is slow, but whatever it is doing is a whole lot slower than using the comparable commands from Terminal, and it eats CPU while doing it. I have to force-quit Processes more often from the dock than I can use it to quickly kill a CPU-gobbling process.

Does anyone but thinks this app is way overpriced for what it is. $243 regular and %84 off is now $39.95. Wow , highway robbery! The application is a good piece of work at the same time why haven't developers get it that selling it for less, you make people happy + you sell more. I just don't get it?

I find the following GUI action of your Processes 1.0.0 application nauseating and wrong: Launch the app and click on Cpu (which I believe should be CPU in uppercase…). Now click the any process in the list, say the 3rd one. As the processes change in order due to changing CPU usage rather than my selection being followed the selection ALWAYS STAYS at position 3 in the list. This means the "Opened files" and the into to the right of that are constantly changing. It is wrong as I want to watch ONE process not the 3rd process. It is also sickening to see it flash info up and changes each second. yucccccccy! I won't be buying even at half price as offered in an email from you. Apple's free Activity Monitor give only part of the info that Processes does but I'll stick with that for now.
