Customizable process manager
atMonitor is a customizable process manager for Mac. It provides a convenient way to monitor running processes and track their performance. The program collects real-time data and displays it in the Activity Viewer, which floats on the desktop and can be easily recalled. One of the standout features of atMonitor is its ability to specifically monitor selected applications and export the data to XML for further analysis.
For general users, atMonitor offers clear visibility into which application each process corresponds to, displaying the name, description, full path, environment, and ownership of each process. The program is highly customizable in terms of both its appearance and what it monitors. However, it should be noted that accessing the main activity monitor window can be a bit tricky as it requires Cmd-clicking the dock icon and selecting "Top".
Overall, atMonitor is a handy tool for discreetly monitoring your Mac's performance without relying solely on the built-in Activity Monitor.
