Process Viewer

The Process Viewer module lets you monitor running processes and basic system resource usage directly inside Path Finder.

Open the Process Viewer

1. Open Path Finder.

2. In the menu bar, go to Window > Modules > Processes.

3. The Processes module will appear attached to the window.

4. Drag it to your preferred corner or edge if needed.

What you can see

Process Viewer typically shows:

• Process names

• CPU usage

• Memory usage

• Process IDs and sometimes parent/child relationships

This gives you a quick overview of what is using your system resources.

Manage processes

From the Process Viewer, you can usually:

• Select a process and get more information

• Terminate (kill) unresponsive apps or misbehaving processes

Note: Terminating processes can cause data loss or instability if you stop critical system tasks. Only force-quit processes you understand.

Use Process Viewer when you suspect Path Finder or another app is slowing down your Mac, or when you want to quickly see what’s running without opening Activity Monitor.
