I replaced eight Mac utilities with one app, and measured what it cost

Описание и применение

OmniMac объединяет восемь популярных утилит для Mac в одно легковесное приложение, сохраняя все функции и снижая потребление памяти и CPU до минимальных значений.

Задача

Mac users often rely on multiple small utilities that consume significant memory and CPU, leading to a fragmented, resource‑heavy environment.

Результат

OmniMac consolidates eight utilities into a single lightweight app, matching or exceeding feature coverage while reducing memory footprint and CPU usage to negligible levels.

Рабочий процесс

• Identify common utilities and their resource usage
• Design a single app to replace all functions
• Implement modules for keep‑awake, window management, clipboard, sound, performance, tools, command bar, menu‑bar hider, and app cleaner
• Add dynamic island UI that adapts to notch or no‑notch Macs
• Measure CPU, memory, wake‑ups with scripts
• Optimize by disabling polling when modules are hidden
• Publish free MIT‑licensed app via website and Homebrew
• Provide source code, tests, and measurement scripts on GitHub

Доказательства

OmniMac is a single menu bar app, native (Swift, SwiftUI for the views, AppKit for the panels), free and MIT-licensed, that does what I actually used from each of those eight and stays out of the way: 0.017–0.033 % CPU, 33–37 MB of real memory and 0.3 wake‑ups per second at idle
