What it does

Memory at a glance

Active, wired, and compressed pages roll up into one percentage that lives in the menu bar.

Watches your models

Polls Ollama on :11434 and LM Studio on :1234. When a model is loaded, its name rides along in the bar.

One-tap cleanup

Free Memory purges inactive pages and trims swap. Kill Ollama unloads the model and reclaims its footprint.

This is a web preview of the menu bar utility. The figures animate from a realistic model of a 32 GB Apple Silicon machine, and every control - Kill Ollama, Free Memory, the runtime toggles - mutates that model so you can watch the numbers respond.
