About
Drain repurposes your MacBook's notch into a single resource gauge showing what's running out in real time. Hover to inspect what each app consumes (battery drain per hour, memory kept vs. parked, storage, network speed, and Claude/Codex weekly limits), then stop it directly. The app displays human-readable names instead of process lists, catches hidden battery drains like paused videos keeping speakers on, and works on non-notch MacBooks via a menu bar ring.
