Foreman
Task Manager for your Mac
What is Foreman?
Foreman is a Windows-style Task Manager for the Mac. Press Control Shift Escape in any app to open it and see every app and what it's using, in plain English, with End Task, Efficiency Mode and Suspend right there.
Six pages in the sidebar: Processes, Performance with live graphs for CPU, memory, disk, Wi-Fi and GPU, App History, Startup Apps (including leftovers of deleted apps), Details and Services. System processes get a plain description beside their real name.
Efficiency Mode lets an app you need open run slowly in the background, on the efficiency cores of Apple silicon, and at full speed again when you switch to it. A live readout sits in the menu bar.
Free for 24 hours, then $12 once for up to 3 Macs. macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel.

Take it offline, apologize, and rebuild in seven weeks
When Neural Frames felt like a dead end in March 2023, Klemke had the conviction to pull the product offline, send an apologetic email to existing subscribers, and rebuild it as a proper video editor in seven intense weeks. The willingness to break the current thing to ship the right thing is what separates a dead end from a pivot.
I recommend something that I do regularly I have this self-reflection Sumit at least once every quarter just to evaluate where I stand in this constantly changing world around me I have new things that I do I have new people that I talk to this impacts what I should be doing
Run a quarterly self-reflection summit on your constraints
The system that worked six months ago is probably wrong now — new commitments, new collaborators, new audience composition all shift what your bottleneck is. Block a half-day every quarter (Arvid calls it a self-reflection summit) to list your current constraints, your current process, and where they no longer match. Adjust the process, not the goals. Without this ritual you accumulate friction silently.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
