First public release.

Halothane is a macOS menu-bar memory supervisor: it watches every process's phys_footprint, warns on runaway growth, and — if you opt in — freezes offenders and their whole process tree with SIGSTOP before they destabilize the system. No auto-kill, ever: a frozen process keeps your unsaved work, and Quit/Force-Kill stay manual.

Install

Download Halothane-0.1.pkg below and run it. The package is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. It installs:

  • /Applications/Halothane.app
  • a privileged supervisor daemon (system-wide, all accounts)
  • a per-login menu-bar agent

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later (Apple Silicon & Intel).

Uninstall

git clone https://github.com/sfoln/halothane && sudo halothane/Scripts/uninstall-helper.sh
