Sloth is an awesome app that makes using the lsof command a breeze! If you're not familiar, lsof, which stands for "list open files," is a handy tool found in Unix-based operating systems. It helps you see all the open files, directories, sockets, pipes, and devices that your system processes are using.
This open-source app gives you a graphical user interface (GUI) for lsof, making it way easier to navigate. Whether you're using it for work or just curious about what’s happening on your machine, Sloth displays all the info you need about active processes.
The data collected by Sloth is shown in a neat outline view that you can search and filter. You can click on any item to learn more about it, jump straight to its location in Finder, or even stop a process if needed!
By default, the list doesn't update automatically—you have to refresh it manually. But no worries! You can set it up to refresh automatically at intervals that work for you.
You have loads of options when sifting through data in Sloth. You can choose what types of items show up and sort them by name, process count, ID, type, or bundle identifier. Plus, searching for specific terms is super easy!
If you're looking through a long list of entries, you'll appreciate how easy it is to expand or collapse them. This feature really makes finding what you need quick and painless!
No one wants slow tools while working! Thankfully, Sloth lives up to its promise—it’s designed with native code so it's fast and light on resources.
If you're after the power of lsof but want a more user-friendly experience, Sloth is exactly what you need. It packs all the same features into an intuitive layout that's perfect for anyone wanting insight into their running processes.
