3 guidesWhat happened earlier, and how to catch it next time.
Look back at what happened earlier
Rewind the last two minutes, the last half hour, or the last year, and see which app was busy.
Record a slowdown, then compare before and after
Capture a stretch of work in full detail, replay it, and set it beside a second recording.

Choose what to remove from caches, logs and build folders, read the exact paths, and send them to the Trash.
Find any file by name

Find and remove duplicate files
Let l/Activity prove which files are identical, keep one copy of each, and review the rest.
Uninstall an app and what it left behind
Remove an app together with its caches, settings and support files, and find leftovers from apps already gone.
Let l/Activity see protected folders
Give Storage access to the places macOS guards, so a scan can cover your whole disk.
