How it works

AutoCleanerByGerasim is powered by a minimalistic bash script wrapped inside a macOS .app via Automator. Here’s what happens when you run it:

1. ✅ You launch the .app

2. 🖥 A Terminal window opens

3. 🔍 It runs:

   ps axo pid,comm

   ...to find all running processes

4. 🧠 It filters out critical system processes: Finder, Dock, loginwindow, etc.

5. 💀 It terminates all others with:

   kill $PID
   sleep 0.1
   kill -9 $PID (if still alive)

6. ✅ Displays “Cleanup complete!” in Terminal

This approach simulates the "Free Memory" feature from commercial tools like CleanMyMac — but in a fully transparent and scriptable way.
