ApplicationSentry 1.1 (Mac)

Overview:

ApplicationSentry is an extremely easy-to-use Mac-only utility that is constantly on guard, monitoring the user's applications for certain types of memory-related problems. ApplicationSentry provides a fast, easy, and non-technical way to improve both the stability and performance of the user's system.A common reason for programs crashing are memory-related problems. Frequently, either a memory-leak bug or not enough memory being assigned to an application is responsible for these problems. The memory requirements of an application constantly vary as the application is being used, and effectively tracking a program's memory usage requires a dynamic approach.ApplicationSentry provides users with an easy way to dynamically monitor the memory requirements of their applications -- even when ApplicationSentry is not displayed on their Desktops! The benefits of this include helping users determine which activities lead to memory-related problems and helping them more efficiently use the RAM that is installed on their computers. In fact, ApplicationSentry lets users directly observe a memory leak as it occurs -- and alerts them before their programs crash! ApplicationSentry also shows users which applications don't have the proper amount of RAM assigned to them, so the memory on their Macs can be safely and efficiently assigned to where it's really needed. Another benefit from using ApplicationSentry as a guide for assigning the appropriate amount of RAM to an application can be a dramatic improvement in that application's performance!ApplicationSentry is both a good diagnostic tool that doesn't require any technical expertise on the user's part and a method to alert the user to impending trouble before a problem develops. Users also are able to dynamically observe how the memory requirements of their applications vary based on the activities they are performing.
