See what your Mac is doing, in plain words. **Every app as one row**: About 1,000 processes, added up into the apps you use. **Your whole Mac, in one window**: Every stat with its history, and the apps using the most. **Right at your notch**: Rest your pointer on the notch to see it all. **In your menu bar**: Every stat in one click. Quit what’s slowing you down. 02 · SOUND ## Hear what’s playing, right at the notch. Every app’s sound, your way, and your mic under control. **Its own volume, its own output**: Turn the music down and the call up, each to its own speakers. **See what’s playing**: The notch shows which app is making sound. **Your mic, under control**: See which app uses your mic. Mute them all with ⌥⌘M. 03 · STORAGE ## Make room without the guesswork. See what fills your disk, clear what’s safe and remove apps completely. **Could be cleared**: Caches, old installers and downloads. It asks before it moves anything. **See what fills your disk**: A map of your disk by kind, and what grew this week. **Uninstall apps completely**: Remove an app with the files it leaves behind. 04 · DEVELOPERS ## Your projects, ports and Homebrew, in one place. See what each project runs, what it costs your Mac, and what got left behind. **Every project, and what it costs**: Each project’s memory, CPU and battery. Pause one in a click. **Ports**: See who’s on a port, and free it in a click. **Containers**: Every container by project, whichever engine runs it. **Homebrew, managed**: Your tools, what uses them, and what you can remove. 05 · FOCUS AND KEEP AWAKE ## Focus in rounds. Keep your Mac awake. Both start with a click at the notch or in the menu bar. **Focus Timer**: Focus and break in rounds. The time sits beside the notch. **In the iSurge window**: Start, pause or skip, and see your week. **Keep Awake**: Your Mac stays awake, even with the lid closed.

WHY I MADE IT “My Mac slowed down, so I opened Activity Monitor and scrolled through about a thousand processes. All that time, the notch, the spot I look at all day, did nothing. So I made iSurge.” Ruthran, who makes iSurge · [Read the story ›](https://isurgemac.com/blog/a-thousand-processes/) ## Private by design Everything stays on your Mac. iSurge goes online only for updates, your licence and a few extras like song covers and the weather.

The notch features need a MacBook with a notch; everything else works on any supported Mac. ### How much is it? Lifetime is $14.99, once, and more Macs cost less each. Or take a year on one Mac for $9.99; nothing renews by itself. No account. If you had iSurge before 0.4, it stays free for you. ### I bought iSurge. Where do I download it?

A year includes every update for its twelve months. ### How do updates work? iSurge checks for a new version once a day and asks before installing it. You can also check any time in Settings › About, or turn automatic checks off. ### What data does iSurge collect? None. Your stats, history and settings stay on your Mac. iSurge goes online to check for updates and your licence, and for a few extras like song covers and the weather. No analytics.

Please do: email [hello@isurgemac.com](mailto:hello@isurgemac.com?subject=iSurge%20feedback). I read everything, and plenty of iSurge started as someone’s request.
