FindDiskKiller monitors macOS disk activity from AI agents

FindDiskKiller is a free, open-source macOS disk activity monitor that provides real-time visibility into per-process disk I/O to pinpoint bottlenecks from background processes and AI coding agents. Beyond disk metrics, it monitors CPU and network usage, supports live file access tracing, and reports SMART/NVMe drive health.

// ANALYSIS

With the rise of local AI coding agents, language servers, and automated toolchains, disk thrashing has become a frequent cause of macOS slowdowns that standard Activity Monitor renders difficult to trace. FindDiskKiller fills this operational gap with deep per-process file tracing and drive health reporting.

• Tracks granular per-process disk I/O alongside CPU and network metrics.

• Features live file access inspection and folder tracing to pinpoint disk-hammering applications.

• Includes SMART/NVMe drive health diagnostics in a lightweight native utility.

• Completely free and open-source project for Mac developers and power users.
