About:
TaskExplorer is a macOS utility that provides a detailed, real-time view of all processes running on the system. It goes beyond the standard Activity Monitor by offering deep insights into process internals, including Mach ports, memory maps, and loaded libraries. This tool is invaluable for developers and security researchers needing to analyze application behavior or troubleshoot complex system issues.
Key Features:
  • Detailed process inspection (threads, memory, files, sockets)
  • Visualization of process relationships and dependencies
  • Real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, and energy usage
  • Inspection of Mach ports and other low-level system resources
Use Cases:
  • Debugging complex application hangs or performance issues
  • Security analysis to identify suspicious process activity
  • System administration for deep resource monitoring
Alternatives:
  • Activity Monitor – Built-in macOS tool; TaskExplorer offers significantly more detailed technical information.
  • htop – Terminal-based process viewer; TaskExplorer provides a graphical, more in-depth interface.
