किसी ऐप को दोबारा खोलें, एफ़िशिएंसी कोर पर ले जाएँ, या पॉज़ करें। एक बार में एक कदम, हर एक पहले समझाया हुआ।
The problem
You have found the app that is hogging memory or CPU, and now you have to deal with it. Quitting by hand means finding the right app and losing your place. Force Quit is a blunt tool. And afterwards nothing tells you whether it helped.
Fixes are three small actions, each explained before you press the button and each reversible: relaunch the app, move it to the efficiency cores, or pause it. Every one goes through a safety gate that refuses when the app might be doing something you would not want interrupted.
How it works
- See the reason. A fix is offered only for a finding, with the app's name and numbers, such as "Slack · 4.1 GB · 3.7× its usual size".
- Press the button. For a relaunch, a sheet says what is kept, using a line from the process library (for Slack, that your messages live on Slack's servers), and lists the steps.
- Pass the safety gate. Hedroom checks that the app is not Apple's, not on your never-touch list, not on a call or playing audio, not a backup app mid-backup, and more. A refusal shows as a sentence with its reason, never as an error.
- Act gently. Relaunch asks the app to quit, as ⌘Q does, and waits up to 20 seconds. If the app is showing a save dialog, Hedroom stops and asks you to switch to it. Efficiency cores lowers the app's priority. Pause freezes it.
- Measure. Hedroom reopens the app, watches for 5 minutes and writes a receipt.
What you will see
On Today, the hero tile shows the app and one button, such as "Fix it: relaunch Slack", with a "Why Slack?" link. The relaunch sheet walks through the steps: ask Slack to quit like ⌘Q, wait up to 20 seconds, open it again, measure for 5 minutes. A checkbox offers to turn the fix into a rule for next time; you choose.
On a background app's row, Normal, Efficiency cores and Pause are three pills you can switch at any time. A paused app shows a Paused badge in Hedroom and in the menu bar panel, with Resume all one click away. If an app does not quit, Hedroom says so: "Slack is still open. It may be showing a dialog asking you to save." There is a Switch to Slack button, and a separate, red Force quit.
A worked example
Example, not real data
Dropbox burns CPU on battery
Say Dropbox has averaged over 80% of one core in the background for 12 minutes while you work on battery. Today shows it, and a notification offers to move it to the efficiency cores, the gentlest option. Pause is offered only after 15 minutes.
You press Efficiency cores. Dropbox keeps syncing, at lower priority, and you can switch it back to Normal whenever you like. Five minutes later the receipt compares Dropbox's CPU before and after. If it fell by at least 10 percentage points of a core, the receipt says Measured. If it did not, it says "No measurable effect." and takes no credit.
Details and limits
यह क्या करता है
- दोबारा खोलना: ऐप से बंद होने को कहता है, जैसे ⌘Q करता है, फिर उसे दोबारा खोलता है।
- एफ़िशिएंसी कोर: ऐप की प्राथमिकता घटाता है ताकि वह आपके काम से होड़ न करे।
- पॉज़: ऐप को तब तक फ़्रीज़ करता है जब तक आप उस पर वापस न आएँ, या अधिकतम 60 मिनट।
What it will not do
- Apple द्वारा साइन की गई किसी भी चीज़ को पॉज़ करना, उसकी प्राथमिकता घटाना या उसे बंद करना। अपवाद Apple का वह ऐप है जिसे आप खुद इस्तेमाल करते हैं, जैसे Xcode, जिसे आप एक क्लिक से दोबारा खोल या बंद कर सकते हैं।
- आपके सामने वाले ऐप, कॉल पर मौजूद ऐप, ऑडियो चलाने या माइक्रोफ़ोन या कैमरा इस्तेमाल करने वाले ऐप, या बैकअप चलने के दौरान बैकअप ऐप को छूना।
- आपकी "कभी न छुएँ" सूची के किसी ऐप को छूना।
- बिना बताए कुछ भी बंद करना। ज़बरदस्ती बंद करने के लिए दूसरी, अलग पुष्टि चाहिए।
Limits
- Hedroom भरोसे से नहीं बता सकता कि किसी ऐप में बिना सेव किया काम है या नहीं, इसलिए वह सिर्फ़ उन्हीं ऐप्स को पॉज़ करता है जिनके बारे में पता है कि वे इसे संभाल लेते हैं, जब तक आप खुद ऐप न चुनें।
- अगर Hedroom जाँच न सके कि कोई ऐप कॉल पर है या बैकअप ले रहा है, तो क्लिक पहले आपसे पूछता है और नियम कुछ नहीं करता।
- अगर Hedroom बंद होता है, तो पॉज़ किए ऐप्स तुरंत फिर शुरू हो जाते हैं। अगर वह क्रैश हो, तो एक छोटी गार्ड प्रोसेस यह देखकर कि Hedroom चला गया उन्हें फिर शुरू कर देती है, और किसी भी हाल में 60 मिनट के भीतर।

Reading your Mac is free. Acting on it, and measuring what the action did, is what Pro covers. Without Pro you still see the fix and its explanation.
Questions people ask
Can a relaunch lose my work?
Hedroom asks the app to quit exactly as ⌘Q does, so an app with unsaved changes shows its own save dialog and Hedroom waits, up to 20 seconds, without forcing anything. It cannot see unsaved work, because that would need Accessibility access, which it does not ask for. So the process library records what each known app keeps, and Hedroom will not pause an app from a rule unless the library marks it safe or you picked it.
Does it need admin rights?
No. Relaunch, efficiency cores and pause act on apps you run, as you, with no helper.
How do I undo a pause or an efficiency-cores move?
Switch to the app: a paused app resumes the moment you activate it, and by default an app returns to normal priority when it comes to the front. You can also press Normal or Resume on its row, or Resume all in the menu bar.
Can it touch macOS or other Apple processes?
No. Anything signed by Apple or in a system folder is explain-only. The one exception is an Apple app you use yourself, such as Xcode or Pages, which you can relaunch or quit with a click and which rules never touch.
