See what's really using your Mac's memory

Updated 7 October 2026

Unhogged shows memory pressure in words, what your memory is made of over time (app, wired, compressed, swap), and the apps holding the most, with every helper counted so Chrome is one honest figure, not forty rows. It warns when an app's memory keeps climbing, and frees memory from things you're not using, showing what came back.

What you see

  • Pressure, the measure that matters, with what it means.
  • Composition over time: app memory, wired, compressed and swap.
  • Apps by memory, with their processes inside and what each one is.
  • Leaks: an app whose memory only grows, with a button to restart it.
  • 30 days of history, so you can see what used memory yesterday.

Questions

Does Unhogged free memory by purging caches?

No. It closes or restarts what holds the memory, like a forgotten session or a leaking app, after showing you what it will do.
