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
No notifications: the indicator is the only signal, and it goes back to grey by itself when the load drops

A separate limit for CPU and for memory, each set by dragging a thumb on its bar
The bars show your Mac’s load right now, so you see how far the limit sits from it
A short spike does not trigger anything: the load has to stay over the limit for about 10 seconds. Drag the limit and the check runs again at once

Opens only when the load is over a limit, and lists only the apps behind it
CPU rows show a percentage, memory rows show gigabytes
Only your apps are listed. macOS system processes stay out, so nothing vital gets paused or killed
Memory growing: an app whose memory keeps climbing is listed even while it is under the limit
A “Not responding” label for apps macOS considers hung
Pull the list down past the top to search the processes on this Mac
Drag the bottom edge to resize the list, double-click it to fit the content again

Pause and Resume in one click. A pause is reversible, and a paused row stays in the list until you resume it
Restart for apps listed for their memory: the app closes and opens again
Kill, with a 3-2-1 count. Save during the count cancels the action and brings the app forward so you can save your work
Keys: ↑ and ↓ pick a row, P or Space pauses and resumes, R restarts, K kills, S saves, Return opens the app
If Aide quits or crashes, it wakes the apps it paused
