About
Bytebud is a Mac menu bar creature that shows your Mac’s health: memory, heat, battery and disk. When something’s wrong, it names the app behind it and offers a one-click fix, after you confirm. It idles at just 0.17% CPU and 17 MB of memory, collects no analytics and never reads your files. One-time purchase: $5.99 early bird, then $9.99.
Activity Monitor lists everything; stats apps draw graphs nobody reads. RunCat shows one signal as running speed. Bytebud combines memory, heat, battery and disk into one face, and when it looks off, it says why. The Why? button names the culprit, and every fix waits for your confirmation. Quits are polite, never forced. It’s a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
