Product Description:

Peek-a-Boo is a utility to monitor and manipulate all running processes. You can watch how much CPU time each process uses, adjust processes' priorities, and monitor process information.

Peek-a-Boo is the utility that finally allows you to monitor and adjust how CPU time is allotted.
  • Peek-a-Boo is the only utility of its kind to show process information for all types of processes: Classic applications, Darwin processes, and OS X native applications.
  • Peek-a-Boo's Process Throb view offers a revolutionary way to track process and system behavior.
  • Peek-a-Boo's toolbar provides a system overview and is also customizable.
  • Supports sorting on any column as well as reordering columns to meet the needs of each user.

What's new in this version:

  • Process Throb's fullscreen mode has been enhanced. Now instead of simply toggling between fullscreen on the main screen and the normal Process Throb window, in 2.4.3 and later F7 cycles from fullscreen mode to desktop mode for each attached screen before cycling back to the normal window.
  • Fixed a bug introduced in 2.4.2 where CFM applications and Classic applications displayed less user-friendly names.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher
    Universal Binary

Peek-a-Boo Commentary2.8.2 fixes OS X 10.4 "Tiger" issues - Version: 2.8.2, 10/8/2009 11:23AM PST

I see a couple comments about how 2.8.1 broke on many OS X 10.4 Tiger systems. We've rushed out version 2.8.2 to address these issues.

If 2.8.1 was crashing on your Tiger system, give 2.8.2 a try. ("Now with 99.44% less crashing!")

Under Tiger, when this version is launched, it never completes--beachball spins forever. Have to force quit.

Looks to be an 64 bit issue. Running Mac OS X 10.4.11 on iMac G5.
