Version 1.0.0
Build 100
Initial release of FindDiskKiller — a native macOS tool for discovering what is causing unusual disk activity.
New
- Real-time per-process disk I/O monitoring (reads and writes separated)
- CPU usage per process with multi-core display
- Network download and upload per process
- Device-level physical throughput monitoring
- Disk health display with SMART/NVMe attributes (temperature, wear, lifetime writes, power-on hours)
- File activity view showing recently modified directories
- On-demand file access tracing with per-process read/write request sizes
- Independent detail windows for focused process investigation
- 1-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour line charts
- Menu bar status display
- 10 interface languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian
- Light and dark mode support
Known limitations
- SMART/NVMe attribute availability depends on drive hardware and enclosure; many external USB enclosures do not pass through SMART data
- File access tracing increases CPU usage proportionally to the I/O rate of traced files
- FSEvents recently modified shows directory-level changes — does not identify the specific process that made the change
