Where did my Mac go?

A week of agent work leaves things behind. Fourteen kinds of cache sorted by what comes back on its own, the sessions still running, and the servers left under them. 

$ vibemeter-scan agent_caches
187.4 GB in caches that regenerate on their own

$ vibemeter-scan sessions
6 sessions, 2 abandoned, 3 stray MCP servers
Ships with an MCP server and a Claude skill.

What it does

Disk

Every folder sized, as a sunburst, a treemap or a list. Search at any depth, duplicates by content, two scans compared.

Memory

Every process by physical footprint, the figure Activity Monitor uses. Grouped by app; click one to raise its window.

Swap

Compressor size, compression ratio, and what has actually reached the swap files.

Resident size and physical footprint

Most tools report resident size. This reads physical footprint.

sum of resident sizes    25076 MB      36 GB machine

Both figures come from the same machine at the same instant.

Everything it does

Disk

  • Sunburst, treemap, and a sortable file list
  • Search the whole scan by name, at any depth
  • Largest files anywhere under a folder
  • Bytes grouped by kind: video, weights, build output
  • Duplicates verified by reading the bytes
  • Save a scan, compare it later, see what grew
  • Free space over time, and when it runs out

Memory and swap

  • Every process by physical footprint
  • Wired, active, inactive, compressed and free, adding up
  • Compression ratio counted against pages on disk too
  • Whether the machine is compressing or writing to swap
  • What is holding memory, and why it ran short

Agents

  • Every session, with the MCP servers it holds open
  • Command lines, to tell identical processes apart
  • Waste classified: abandoned, stray, idle, duplicated
  • The caches AI tooling grows into, marked by safety
  • The right cleanup command when a plain delete is wrong

Beyond the window

  • An MCP server, so an agent can ask and drive the window
  • A command line that prints JSON for scripts and CI
  • iPhone, iPad and Android, included in the purchase
  • Linux build of the CLI and MCP server
  • Nine languages, following the system or chosen

Changelog

  1. 1.2.019 Aug 2026

    Added

    • Threshold alerts for free disk, memory and swap. Set a limit and a direction per figure; all off until you turn them on. The panel, the menu bar mark and the widget show the warning while the limit is crossed and clear it when the figure comes back.
    • Pinned figures at the top of the detail pane, each with 24 hours of history drawn beside it.
    • widget and pin remote commands, reachable from the CLI and the MCP server.
    • Unit tests over thresholds and read rates.

    Changed

    • The widget reports the sample interval it achieved rather than the one it was configured with, and names the read cost when that is the difference.
    • Only a visible window samples and draws. A covered window stops both; the sample log keeps writing regardless.
    • The direct and App Store channels are both 1.2.0. They had drifted to 1.1.6 and 1.0.

    Fixed

    • Settings written immediately before a force quit could be lost, because macOS flushes defaults on its own schedule.
  2. 1.1.6direct build

    Added

    • First-run welcome screen offering a 14-day trial, sign-in with Google, GitHub or Apple, or a licence key.
    • Account panel showing your email, verification state and a sign-out button.

    Changed

    • No disk scan, process listing or keychain access happens until you choose on the welcome screen.
    • OAuth opens in your default browser.
  3. 1.1.515 Aug 2026

    Fixed

    • A scan could hang indefinitely on a directory the system never answered for, holding everything read so far. A stalled directory now times out and is named in the results instead of being silently missing from the total.
    • A scan started by an agent with no window open held its tree in memory for as long as the app was running.
  4. 1.1.414 Aug 2026

    Added

    • In-app updates: downloads the build, verifies the signature, replaces itself and restarts. A build that fails verification is discarded.
    • Sign in, see the active account and sign out from inside the app, without going through the licence sheet.
  5. 1.1.314 Aug 2026

    Fixed

    • The CLI and the MCP server prompted for a keychain password on every command. The app and the scanner are separate binaries and macOS scoped the licence to whichever one wrote it. They now share a keychain group, and a licence check that took about 8 s returns in 60 ms.
Show six earlier releases
  1. 1.1.214 Aug 2026

    Changed

    • Signing in issues the same signed receipt as a licence key, so both paths verify identically.
    • Every action that deletes something asks the same confirmation.
  2. 1.1.014 Aug 2026

    Added

    • Sign in with a Quilio account instead of entering a licence key.
    • Nine languages, with a settings window.

    Changed

    • Opening the window reuses a recent scan instead of rescanning.
  3. 1.0.314 Aug 2026

    Changed

    • The view picker moved onto the canvas, removing its toolbar row.

    Fixed

    • Search blocked the interface while it walked the tree.
    • Names in the results list collapsed to an ellipsis.
  4. 1.0.213 Aug 2026

    Added

    • Treemap view.
  5. 1.0.113 Aug 2026

    Fixed

    • The Android ring claimed every horizontal swipe, leaving no way to change view. It now yields a strip down each side.
  6. 1.0.013 Aug 2026
    • First release.
