RamGuard v1.3.0

Configurable RAM alerts.

• The 80% RAM alert is now optional — toggle it in Settings → RAM Alerts
• New 90% RAM alert, independently toggleable
• Alerts are edge-triggered (fire once when RAM crosses up, re-arm when it drops back)
• Existing setups are preserved: if you had notifications on you keep the 80% alert; 90% is opt-in

brew upgrade ramguard

RamGuard v1.2.2

Bug-fix release.

• Dark mode: process names were unreadable (near-black on the dark popover) — fixed; rows now draw under the correct appearance
• AirPods battery: connected AirPods now appear in the right-click battery section (Left / Right / Case), alongside Magic Mouse/Trackpad/Keyboard and this Mac. Read from the Bluetooth data layer, cached and probed off the main thread so it never blocks the UI

brew upgrade ramguard

RamGuard v1.2.1

Bug-fix release (independent review pass).

• Fix a potential crash in system CPU sampling: integer underflow on counter wrap after very long uptime
• Battery: only show the charging bolt when actually charging (not merely plugged in and full)
• Battery: don't drop a peripheral reporting exactly 0%

brew install clintoncodewell/tap/ramguard

RamGuard v1.2

What's new in v1.2

• Device batteries — right-click lists battery for this Mac and connected Apple peripherals (AirPods, Magic Mouse/Trackpad/Keyboard), read in-process with no subprocess overhead

All menu bar metrics (Memory, CPU, SSD, Network, Battery) are independently toggleable via right-click.
