Project Management

Resource Manager

Click the memory reading in the status bar for a per-process breakdown — 1DevTool's own Main, Renderer and GPU processes, and every terminal named the way its tab is. Live CPU sparklines show which agent is actually working your machine.

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Four agents running at once is four CLIs, four PTYs and however much scrollback each of them has accumulated, and until now the only signal was a single number in the status bar and a laptop that got loud. Resource Manager turns that number into a list you can act on. Terminals are grouped and named the way their tabs are, so "cursor full at 111% CPU" is a specific tab you can go and look at rather than an anonymous process id in Activity Monitor. 1DevTool's own processes are broken out separately — Main, Renderer and GPU — so you can tell an expensive agent apart from an expensive app. Each row draws a live CPU sparkline while the panel is open, self-scaling to its own recent peak so an idle terminal still reads as idle. Underneath sit system memory, available memory, swap and CPU load against your core count, with a plain warning when the machine has started paging to disk. And Clear terminal buffers releases cached scrollback across your terminals and re-samples immediately, so you can watch the number come down instead of guessing whether it helped.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

1
1

Click the memory reading in the status bar

The number you have been ignoring opens a Resource Manager panel with a per-process breakdown behind it.

2
2

Read terminals by their tab names

Every terminal is listed the way its tab is, grouped under a Terminals row carrying the total CPU and RSS, so a runaway agent is a tab you can go and look at rather than an anonymous process id.

Tell the app apart from the agents

1DevTool’s own processes — Main, Renderer and GPU — collapse into their own group, so an expensive app and an expensive agent never look the same.

Watch the live CPU sparklines

Each row draws its own sparkline while the panel is open, self-scaling to its recent peak so an idle terminal still reads as idle.

Clear terminal buffers and watch it drop

Releasing cached scrollback re-samples immediately, so you see whether it helped instead of guessing. System memory, swap and CPU load sit underneath, with a plain warning when the machine starts paging to disk.

Without 1DevTool

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Four agents running, one number in the status bar
# The fans spin up and you cannot tell which tab
# Open Activity Monitor and read process ids
# Guess which pid is which terminal
# Quit everything and start over

The 1DevTool Way

Click the memory reading for a per-process list.
Terminals are named the way their tabs are.
Main, Renderer and GPU are grouped separately.
Live CPU sparklines show who is actually working.
Clear terminal buffers, and watch the number drop.
