Baa is a macOS menu bar app and CLI that monitors RAM and disk usage, identifies leftover processes from dev servers and AI agents, and allows one-click freeing. It combines memory pressure monitoring with heuristics to detect idle or orphaned processes, filling a niche for developers running local AI tools. The project is lightweight, easy to install, and includes whimsical touches like a baa sound.

Target audience: macOS developers, AI engineers, and DevOps running local tools
