NEW IN 1.0
- A ring with a dot in the menu bar. It stays grey while your Mac is within its limits, then turns orange and red as the load climbs past them
- A separate limit for CPU and for memory, each set by dragging a thumb on its bar
- Opens only when the load is over a limit, and lists only the apps behind it
- Pause and Resume in one click. A pause is reversible, and a paused row stays in the list until you resume it
- Starts at login
