About:
The Cheat is a lightweight command-line utility for macOS that allows users to modify memory values of running processes. It provides a simple interface for searching and altering game variables like health, ammo, or score, functioning as a classic game trainer for local applications.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for memory scanning and modification
  • Supports searching for integer, float, and double values
  • Provides process attachment and memory patching capabilities
  • Lightweight and focused on a single purpose
Use Cases:
  • Modifying game values for single-player games on macOS
  • Learning about memory manipulation and game hacking fundamentals
  • Debugging or analyzing game behavior by inspecting memory
Alternatives:
  • Cheat Engine – Cross-platform GUI tool with advanced features, but significantly more complex and heavier than The Cheat
  • GameConqueror – Linux-focused GUI memory editor, similar concept but different platform support
