whoate v0.1.0

whoate 0.1.0 — first release

See which agent session, tmux pane or app is eating your Mac's memory, and let
your coding agent ask too.

Install

Apple Silicon, macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.

brew install zhenninglang/tap/whoate

The menu bar app:

brew install --cask zhenninglang/tap/whoate

The app carries its own copy of the CLI. To put it on your PATH without the
formula, open whoate Settings → Command Line → Install.

First launch of the app

whoate.app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so macOS blocks the first
launch. Open it once and click Done, then go to System Settings → Privacy &
Security (系统设置 → 隐私与安全性) and click Open Anyway (「仍要打开」).
Or, in Terminal:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/whoate.app

What's in it

• Memory and CPU grouped by owner: coding-agent session, tmux pane, app, or the
  orphan a closed terminal left behind.
• Per-software explanations for coding agents and their MCP servers, Chromium
  browsers, WebKit, Docker and IDEs, backed by a knowledge base where every entry
  cites its source.
• A CLI for coding agents: whoate top --json, whoate why <pid>,
  whoate agent-guide. Structured whoate/v1 JSON and exit codes, zero tokens.
• A menu bar app with a main window and a settings window, in English and Chinese.

The full list is in CHANGELOG.md.

Known limitations

• Apple Silicon only; macOS 14 or later.
• The app is not notarized (see above).
• Knowledge-base advice appears only when its trigger matches what runs on your
  machine; on a quiet machine you may see none for some software.

Privacy

whoate reads local process and session information only. No telemetry: it
collects nothing, does not use the network, and calls no model.
