The Mac got hot. The fans took off.
A dog that lives in your menu bar and barks at apps eating your Mac.
Why a dog?
Somewhere in the background, some app was quietly chewing the CPU. Which one? Cue yet another
dig through Activity Monitor.
So now a dog does the watching. It never sleeps. Well, it
naps. On duty.
Moods
-
Napping
All apps behaving. On duty, technically.
-
Sniffing
Something smells busy. Ears up.
-
Growling
Still at it? Grrr. Last warning.
It barked. Now what?
Click the dog. Quit the hog (hold ⌥ to Kill), Snooze it, or Ignore it and let the dog sulk about it.
First launch
Unzip, drag it to Applications. macOS will then refuse to open it, because the dog skipped
Apple's notarization paperwork.
Right-click the app → Open. Still grumpy? System
Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
