bgviewer is a menu-bar kill-switch for macOS background services — see everything running behind your Mac and stop, pause, restart, or disable it, including the KeepAlive agents that respawn when killed.

New in 1.6.0 — Disk Map 🥧

  • From the Storage pane, open a full resizable window with a clickable pie of what's eating your disk: click a wedge (or legend row) to drill into a folder, breadcrumbs to climb back out, tiny items grouped as "everything else".
  • Sizes compute lazily per level (du, three at a time, cached per session) so it's responsive instead of blocking on a whole-disk walk.
  • Scan any folder via the picker. Files reveal in Finder. Still zero delete buttons — what to remove is always your call.

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AroraShreshth/bgviewer/main/install.sh | bash
