Browser automation leftovers
Playwright sessions, Chrome debugging windows, and helper processes may keep consuming resources after a task ends.
MacAIGuard.com · Built for AI agents and Mac automation workflows
Keep your AI agent running smoothly
Mac AI Guard monitors Mac pressure, detects leftovers from OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Playwright, and other AI workflows, then helps reclaim resources without killing the task that is still working.
✓ Preview before cleaning
✓ Protect active AI tasks
✓ Process lists stay local

The problem
Why does your Mac slow down after AI tools run for hours?
The problem is rarely a single app. Browser automation, development workers, command-line agents, and memory pressure stack up together. Generic memory cleaners do not know which tasks are still important.
Node / Python workers pile up
AI workflows often spawn background workers. They are not always broken, but you need to know whether they still belong to a live task.
You cannot risk killing the current job
What you need is not a bigger “freed memory” number. You need to know what can be handled and what must be protected.
How it works
Not aggressive cleaning. Stable AI operations.
Mac AI Guard translates “my Mac is getting tight” into clear, actionable states: current pressure, safe candidates, protected tasks, and recovery suggestions.
⌁
Monitor Mac and AI runtime pressure
A menu bar shield shows pressure changes. Calm when things are normal; clear when memory becomes tight.
◌
Detect suspicious leftovers
Focus on Chrome, Playwright, Node, Python, and other common leftovers from AI workflows, grouped by risk.
◇
Protect active tasks
Running OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar tasks are prioritized for protection.
✓
Preview first, confirm before action
See what can be reclaimed, why it is considered safe, and which tasks are protected before anything changes.

Know what is safe before reclaiming resources
When safe candidates exist, the app shows what can be handled and the estimated reclaim. When none exist, it explains why cleaning is not recommended.

- ✓Show protected AI tasks so “not cleaning” is understood as protection.
- ✓Generate before/after reports to see whether performance actually improved.

Safety & privacy
Safe by default. Calm by design.
Mac AI Guard should build trust, not anxiety. High-risk actions require preview and confirmation, and privacy boundaries stay clear.
⌘
Does not read chats or code
It focuses on process state, resource pressure, and task relationships — not your messages, source files, or documents.
⇥
Does not upload process lists
Diagnostics run locally by default. If cloud features are ever added, they should be opt-in and clearly explained.
!
Does not kill processes blindly
Safe Clean must show candidates and protected tasks before execution, then ask for confirmation.

FAQ
Questions
Is this a generic memory cleaner?
No. It is focused on AI workflow stability: monitor pressure, detect leftovers, protect active tasks, and avoid inflated “freed memory” theater.
Could it kill my active AI task?
The product principle is to protect active tasks first. Risky actions require preview and confirmation.
Which AI tools are targeted?
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Roo Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Playwright, Chrome automation, and similar workflows.
Why does it sometimes say nothing is safe to reclaim?
That usually means there are no clear, safe leftovers. The app explains why instead of risking your running work.
