Memtivy — App Description

What is Memtivy?

Memtivy is a small, lightweight memory monitor for macOS. It lives quietly in your menu bar and keeps an eye on how much memory your Mac is using, so you get an early warning before your Mac slows down or shows its own "your system has run out of application memory" message.

Who is it for?

Anyone who uses a Mac and wants fewer surprises: students with many browser tabs open, professionals juggling large documents and creative tools, developers running heavy apps, or anyone whose Mac occasionally feels slow without a clear reason.

What you see

• At a glance: a compact number in the menu bar showing current memory load.
• When you click it: a clear panel with your current usage, a simple status (Normal, Warning, or Critical), a recent-usage chart, and a list of the apps using the most memory.
• When load gets critical: an optional notification suggesting you save your work and close heavy apps — before the system itself complains.

Memtivy has no dock icon and stays out of your way until you need it.

Key features

• Early warnings: know memory is running low in time to act, instead of after things freeze.
• Top apps list: quickly spot which app is using the most memory.
• Recent-usage chart: see whether memory load is stable, climbing, or recovering.
• Customizable menu bar: choose how the menu bar number looks, with a live preview.
• Light and quiet: checks gently in the background, pauses when its panel is closed, and respects macOS energy-saving features to protect battery life.
• Private by design: everything works offline on your Mac. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Requirements

• macOS 13 or later.
• Optional: allow notifications if you want critical-load alerts. The app works fine without them.

In short

Memtivy answers one simple question — "is my Mac running out of memory, and what is using it?" — with a quick look at the menu bar, in time to do something about it.
