- The homepage labels its process list a demo; examples include an Android emulator, OrbStack VM, iOS Simulator, and pnpm server.
Field notes
The homepage marks its sample process list as a demo, with entries for an Android emulator, an OrbStack VM, an iOS Simulator, and a pnpm dev server; it is not evidence of a live scan. The page says stopped items can be restored from Trash and that processes can be pinned, while describing the app as 4 MB and compatible with macOS 26 on Apple Silicon.
