Field notes

The product combines live hardware readings with historical views that preserve peaks and leave visible gaps for sleep or restarts instead of interpolating missing data. Its example insight engine identifies Safari memory growth from 19 samples and reports Chrome's power assertion as active for 2 hours 17 minutes. The site also describes reversible controls, including pausing an app before a two-stage termination, with explicit permission required for actions.
