About:
TrueTree is a command-line utility that provides enhanced process tree visualization, similar to the classic pstree command. It adds valuable context by displaying code signing information, quarantine status, and other macOS-specific attributes for each process. This makes it an essential tool for security professionals and system administrators who need to quickly identify legitimate versus suspicious processes.
Key Features:
  • Displays process trees with code signing information
  • Shows quarantine status for downloaded applications
  • Identifies parent-child process relationships clearly
  • Provides detailed metadata for each running process
Use Cases:
  • Security analysis and malware detection on macOS systems
  • System administration and process monitoring
  • Troubleshooting application behavior and dependencies
Alternatives:
  • pstree – Standard Unix tool lacks macOS-specific metadata like code signing
  • htop – Process viewer shows real-time stats but not detailed signing info
