Added

  • Memory in Impact. Impact (and appwrangler stats, MCP get_impact_stats) shows:

    • time the Mac was short of memory, and peak swap;
    • how much macOS had to read back from swap (also per hour of memory shortage);
    • how many apps were frozen for memory, and the memory they held.

    Compare days with idle freezing on and off to see whether it helps your Mac.

  • One-command releases. scripts/release.sh X.Y.Z tags a release. GitHub Actions then tests, builds, publishes it with notes from the CHANGELOG, and updates the Homebrew cask. A manual dry run builds without publishing.

Changed

  • The watchdog is its own process, AppWranglerWatchdog, so killall -9 AppWrangler can no longer take it down too and leave apps frozen.
  • Rule edits from several places are merged. Edits from the window, the CLI and AI assistants at the same moment are applied under a lock, instead of the last writer replacing the file.

Install

  • Homebrew: brew upgrade --cask appwrangler. New installs: brew tap intarso/appwrangler https://github.com/IntarsO/AppWrangler && brew install --cask appwrangler.
  • Download: get AppWrangler-1.4.0.zip below and replace the app in Applications. Your rules and statistics are kept. The first time, right-click → Open, because it's signed but not notarized.

Requirements: macOS 13 or later, on Apple Silicon (the widget needs macOS 14).
