It groups about a thousand processes into the apps you know, says which app is behind a hot or slow Mac, and gives each app its own volume. It finds what can be cleared from your disk and marks what’s safe, shows the dev servers, ports and containers your projects left running, and has a Focus Timer and Keep Awake, even with the lid closed. Your stats stay on your Mac. ## Facts Made byRuthran Baskar, ioiostudiosFirst release4 October 2026Latest version0.4, 27 October 2026 ([what’s new](https://isurgemac.com/changelog/))Price$14.99 once, or $9.99 for a year.
