Questions & Answers

As answered by people managing iSurge and StudySpaces.

Who are some of the biggest customers of your product?

iSurge's answer

  • Mac users with Apple silicon who want to see what's slowing their Mac
  • People who need to free up disk space
  • Developers who run dev servers, ports and containers

Which are the primary technologies used for building your product?

iSurge's answer

  • Swift and SwiftUI, native on macOS
  • Apple's own system frameworks for the stats, sound and disk
  • Sparkle for updates
  • Cloudflare Workers for the website and the update feed

What makes your product unique?

iSurge's answer

  • Apps, not processes: CPU, memory, GPU, network, disk and battery, added up per app
  • In the notch, or a small pill on any Mac, plus the menu bar and a full window with history
  • Sound: each app's own volume and speakers, and one shortcut to mute every mic
  • Disk clean-up: clear only what you tick, only to the Trash; remove apps with their leftovers
  • For developers: dev servers, ports, containers and Homebrew in one place
  • Focus Timer, and Keep Awake even with the lid closed

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

iSurge's answer

Because you get one app instead of several. A side-by-side table with eight other Mac apps, each checked on its own website, is at https://isurgemac.com/compare/

  • iStat Menus and Stats show stats in the menu bar, but list processes, not apps, and don't set each app's sound or clean your disk.
  • Activity Monitor lists about a thousand processes; iSurge adds them up into the apps you use and tells you which one is the problem.
  • It's private: your stats stay on your Mac, with no account. Notarized by Apple.
  • It costs $14.99 once (launch price), with a free 3-day trial and no card.

How would you describe the primary audience of your product?

iSurge's answer

Anyone with a Mac with Apple silicon (macOS 15 or later), notch or not:

  • People who want to know why their Mac is slow or hot, without digging through Activity Monitor
  • People running out of storage who want to see what fills their disk and clear it safely: only what they tick, only to the Trash, and apps removed with the files they leave behind
  • Developers, who also use its tab for dev servers, ports, containers and Homebrew

What's the story behind your product?

iSurge's answer

My Mac slowed down, so I opened Activity Monitor and scrolled through about a thousand processes. All that time, the notch, the spot I look at all day, did nothing. So I made iSurge: The Ultimate Activity Monitor that tells you which app is the problem, in the place you already look. I'm Ruthran, and I make it on my own.
