BEFORE YOU SIGN UP

A few good questions.

What will the launch email include?

One email when the public Mac download is ready, with the download link and release information. This is a notification request, not a purchase. Pricing and the release date have not been announced.

Does this website scan my Mac?

No. Everything you can play with here uses labelled sample data. The native app reads actual system information locally on your Mac.

Will it quit apps or delete my files?

You review the actions first. Supported applications are asked to quit gracefully. Eligible cleanup items are moved to Trash after confirmation; that is different from immediately reclaiming disk space.

Can I download it yet?

The 1.9 preview is being tested. A universal build includes Intel and Apple Silicon, with runtime verification so far on Intel. Public release signing and checks are still in progress. Leave your email below to request a download notification.

Read the preview notes ↗
What is Hog Level?

An app-defined resource-load score: 60% total CPU use plus 40% used RAM percentage. Higher means busier, not unhealthy. Useful work can use plenty of resources.
