Ramback

Yes. The list, stopping, Clean slate, the dev server and agent rules, the disk scan, the CLI and the MCP server are free for as long as you use them, with no account. Every install starts with 14 days of Pro so you can try the rest; when they end, Ramback goes back to Free on its own. There's nothing to cancel. Pro is $19 once.

Activity Monitor lists processes. Ramback groups them by what they are (simulators, emulators, Gradle daemons, containers, dev servers, agent sessions), shows which tool started each one and how long it has been idle, and stops them the way their own tools do, with simctl, adb or docker instead of a kill.

It stops things gently first: simctl shutdown, adb emu kill, docker stop, or SIGTERM to the process tree. If something is still running after 5 seconds, it asks before forcing it. Databases only stop after you confirm, nothing mid-build is touched, and it never goes near root's processes, other users' processes or anything under /System.

App Store apps run in a sandbox that can't call simctl, adb or docker, or read ~/Library/Developer. That's most of what Ramback does. A smaller Lite version for ports and dev servers is on its way to the App Store.

Nothing about your work. Process names, paths and project names stay on your Mac. If you opt in, anonymous counts (what kind of thing was stopped, how often) go to TelemetryDeck. The only other calls are license checks with Polar and update checks with ramback.app.

Docker Desktop, OrbStack and Colima, yes. The VM counts toward the total, and containers show their share of it, grouped by Compose project. Podman isn't detected yet.

Yes, it ships as a universal binary. It needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later.

No. If your projects live in Desktop or Documents, macOS asks once so Ramback can read folder names to find project roots.
