Overview

Commands1

Kill Process

Lists all running processes, ordered by CPU or memory usage and allows (force) killing one

Versions25

Fix - September 16, 2026

App grouping now works on Windows, where it groups a process with the helpers it spawned (fixes #26386)
Killing a grouped app on Windows now terminates every process in the group rather than only the main process and its children
Grouped rows on Windows keep the app's icon instead of falling back to a generic one

Fix - September 14, 2026

Fixed truncated memory values in the process list by formatting accessories compactly (binary units without spaces, e.g. 100MiB instead of 105 MB, one decimal for CPU)

Improvements - June 25, 2026

App grouping is now enabled by default and groups processes by .app bundle path for more accurate CPU and memory totals (fixes #25095)
Killing a grouped app now terminates all related child processes, not just the main process
Grouped apps show how many processes they include in the subtitle
Auto-refresh is disabled when the extension launches in the background, preventing timeout errors while idle (fixes #28391)
The loading indicator only appears on the initial fetch; background refreshes no longer flash the list
Added empty states for failed fetches and when no processes are found

Prevented background refreshes from overlapping and surfacing timeout errors while the process list is left open.
