Added

  • Calls are handled by themselves. When an app has been recording from the microphone for a few seconds, AppWrangler makes room for it until the call ends (a minute after the mic goes quiet; the camera keeps it going). Inside a browser it's granular: the busy renderer, the GPU and network helpers, the main process and anything recording stay at full speed; renderers of idle tabs move to the efficiency cores. Nothing touching the call is ever slowed or frozen. The panel says In a call: making room for … with Stop (which leaves that app alone for 30 minutes). Setting auto_meeting, on by default. No permission is needed and nothing is sent anywhere.
  • Processes started by a prioritized app are prioritized: a test run or build that Codex, Claude, a terminal or an IDE started is never held or paused, through any number of shells.
  • One-click Memory Saver for Chrome and Brave (maximum, with Meet, Teams, Zoom, Slack and Discord kept alive) in the memory suggestion; it sets the browser's own policies, reversible with defaults delete. Docker Desktop and virtual machines get a tip to lower the memory they reserve.

Fixed

  • AppWrangler used far too much CPU while its window was open behind other windows (it refreshed and collected thread details every second). The window now refreshes every 3 s unless it's in front, and thread details are only collected while a row is expanded.

Install

  • Homebrew: brew upgrade --cask appwrangler. New installs: brew tap intarso/appwrangler https://github.com/IntarsO/AppWrangler && brew install --cask appwrangler.

  • Download: get AppWrangler-1.7.0.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.

  • Claude Desktop: download AppWrangler-mcp-1.7.0.mcpb below and double-click it to add AppWrangler's tools to Claude. It uses the installed app when there is one (details).

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