Free public release

MemoryGuard is a native, local-first macOS utility for developers running multiple heavy builds.

What it does

  • Watches available RAM, kernel pressure and swap together.
  • Recognizes Next.js, Swift, TypeScript, Vitest and Playwright build groups.
  • Temporarily pauses only the newest eligible group when at least two heavy builds exist.
  • Resumes automatically after two healthy samples.

Safety contract

  • No deleted files or caches.
  • No terminated apps, tabs, terminals or processes.
  • No telemetry or cloud account.
  • The only heavy build is never paused.

Install

Download MemoryGuard-1.3.0.zip, move MemoryGuard.app to Applications, then run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/MemoryGuard.app
open /Applications/MemoryGuard.app

The free build is ad-hoc signed, Apple-silicon-only and not notarized yet. Requires macOS 14 or later.
