01 · Signal console

Not another cleaner.
A clearer instrument.

Corewise observes supported local evidence, explains why it matters, and leaves control with you. No invented health score. No panic. No one-click cleanup.

  1. 01
    See what changed

    Live process activity and short history reveal the shape of a slowdown, not just a frozen number.

  2. 02
    Understand the signal

    Memory, swap, thermal state, and storage are kept in context before an app gets blamed.

  3. 03
    Take one safe step

    Corewise recommends review and inspection, never destructive automation.

02 · AI Workloads

Know the local cost of building with AI.

Corewise separates the tool you opened from the builds, runtimes, and helpers working beneath it. Cloud activity stays explicitly outside the picture.

Your Mac stays yours.

No backend. No analytics. No account. No automatic cleanup. Diagnostics are read locally and reports are copied only when you ask.

The important details.

Does Corewise require Full Disk Access?

No. Normal diagnostics work without it. Full Disk Access is optional and used only when you explicitly start read-only Full Storage Analysis.

Can Corewise see cloud AI agents?

No. AI Workloads observes attributable local processes. It does not read prompts, projects, cloud usage, process arguments, or working directories.

Does Corewise fix or delete anything?

No. Corewise explains supported signals and points to safe next steps. It does not kill processes, delete files, or claim a single health verdict.

How are updates delivered?

The first release line uses manual updates from GitHub Releases. The update model will expand only after its networking and trust boundaries are reviewed.

Local signals, clearly

The evidence is already there.
Make it readable.
