Sloth
A native macOS GUI for lsof that displays all open files, directories, sockets, pipes, and devices used by running processes.
What is Sloth?
Sloth is a native macOS application that provides a graphical user interface for the `lsof` command-line tool. It displays all open files, directories, sockets, pipes, and devices currently in use by every running process on the system, helping users diagnose resource usage and identify which applications are accessing specific files or network connections.
macOS users, system administrators, and developers who need to monitor or troubleshoot system resource usage, file locks, network sockets, or inter-process communication on their Mac.
Developers choose Sloth because it offers a fast, native GUI that makes the complex output of `lsof` easily searchable, sortable, and visually explorable, with additional features like filtering, detailed inspection panels, and root-privilege scanning that the command-line tool lacks.
