Look back at any metric over an hour, a day, a week, a month or a year, and see which apps were behind it.

History is what makes Warashi a flight recorder: it keeps your Mac's numbers so you can look back at what happened.

  1. Open History

    Choose History in the sidebar or press ⌘3.

    History: CPU over 24 hours with the busiest apps and a comparison with the previous 24 hours
  2. Pick a range

    At the top right: 1 h, 24 h, 7 d, 30 d or 12 mo.

  3. Pick a metric

    Choose CPU, GPU, Memory, Power, Temperature, Network, Disk or Battery. The big number is the average for the range, with p95 and the peak beside it.

  4. Scrub the chart

    Hover the chart: the headline becomes the value at that moment, with its time.

  5. See who was behind it

    Below the chart, Busiest apps for the range and how the range compares with the one before.
