Product Description:

Memory Usage Getter is a utility that allows you to monitor the memory and CPU usage of all open applications and background processes under Mac OS X. It presents all apps and processes in a single table, or it can automatically separate out your user's processes from other user processes and separate them into three tabs for easier viewing. Memory Usage Getter is also designed to allow easy visual assessment of how much memory and CPU is being used, by presenting bar graphs representing the memory and CPU usage of each process directly in the tables, and by presenting an overall memory usage bar graph in each window as well as in the Dock icon, if desired. Memory Usage Getter can also present a history window for individual processes to allow you to keep track of the memory and CPU usage over time with a graph for each. Furthermore, logging of memory and CPU usage statistics can be activated for a single process or for all processes. But these aren't the only features offered in Memory Usage Getter: others include one-click revealing of apps and processes in the Finder, the ability to set the priority or to kill processes in Mac OS X, and even dedicated keystrokes to killing the most frequently used programs like the Finder, the Dock, the right side of the menu bar, the Classic Environment, and even Front Row.

What's new in this version:

  • If a process quits and then is launched again, the process history windows will now realize this and continue updating the graphs
  • If a process survives a kill, MUG now automatically force kills it
  • New "Kill Special" menu items with command keystrokes for fast access to killing the Dock, Dashboard, the Finder, the menu bar, Classic, and Front Row
  • Corrected inaccurate Dock Icon/Overall Graph Window CPU usage reporting
  • Double-clicking on processes in table views will now either reveal it in the Finder, open a history window for that process, or kill the process. This is a user-customizable option.
  • Multiple selections are now allowed in the table views, and you can perform actions on every selected item
  • Dashboard widgets in Tiger can now be easily distinguished in Tab and List View windows, and they correctly reveal in the Finder
  • Memory Usage Getter is now a universal binary and should run on Macs with Intel processors (feature untested)
  • A multitude of various other bug fixes and interface improvements

Memory Usage Getter ReviewSolid - Version: 2.6, 10/16/2006 09:09PM PST

Unique in its' ability to kill programs via the mouse (one-handed!), and not too hard on the cpu. Had some stability issues at first, but a complete reload solved that (and didn't have to use the "patch" the author suggests). I made a registration error, and the author replied WITH A FIX, immediately (minutes, not hours or days).

Sorry about that silly bug with the "Applications" and "Other User Processes" tabs not showing anything. This has now been corrected -- please redownload MUG 2.6 to get the fix.

Memory Usage Getter CommentaryAll processes show up under one tab - Version: 2.6, 1/17/2006 03:43PM PST

All applications and processes show up under the “System Processes“ tab. The other tabs are empty. Returning to version 2.5.1 fixes this.
