What it is

A menu bar utility for people who run local models.

Process Radar sits in your menu bar as Radar². It shows a live color-coded memory pressure strip, names you can read for model servers and fine-tunes, memory that lines up with Activity Monitor, and quit controls for processes you own. No account. Runs entirely on your Mac.

Live pressure strip

A color-coded memory bar in the menu — same scale as Activity Monitor. Top processes paint the graph so you see pressure at a glance.

Real AI names

Not just python or llama-server. Radar labels model servers, agents, and fine-tunes (LoRA, SFT, Unsloth, and other common tools) from live process signals.

Quit what you own

Quit or force-quit your processes from the menu bar. Root/system helpers are marked protected — no silent fail.
