Electron Detector

Find bloated Electron apps

Only for Mac

$4.99

Mac

See which of your apps are secretly running a whole web browser under the hood. Find native alternatives and reclaim disk space. Ever wonder why some Mac apps eat 500MB+ of disk space and chug through your RAM? They're probably Electron apps — full Chromium browsers disguised as desktop software. Electron Detector lives in your menu bar and scans every app in your Applications folder. In seconds, you'll see exactly which framework each app uses: Electron, Tauri, Flutter, Qt, Java, .NET, or true native macOS. WHAT YOU GET - Instant scan of all installed apps - Framework detection: Electron, Tauri, Flutter, Qt, Java, .NET, and Native - Native percentage score — see how "native" your Mac really is - Disk size for every app so you can spot the bloat - Native alternative suggestions for popular Electron apps - Filter by category to focus on what matters - Sort by name or size - Search to quickly find any app - Export reports as Markdown or CSV - Lightweight menu bar app — no Dock icon, no clutter WHY IT MATTERS Native Mac apps are faster, use less memory, and respect your battery. Electron apps bundle an entire Chromium browser just to show you a chat window or a text editor. Now you can see which apps are pulling their weight and which ones are just wearing a disguise. Built with SwiftUI. No Electron. Obviously.
