Do you actually need more RAM?

Only for Mac

$14.99

Mac

See how your Mac uses memory. Monitor pressure, swap, compression, trends, and alerts from a polished dashboard and menu bar, without the guesswork. Understand what your Mac’s memory is doing and whether more RAM would actually improve your workflow. RAMPA is a modern memory-monitoring utility that turns complex macOS statistics into clear, useful insights. Track active memory, available memory, compression, swap usage, estimated pressure, and system trends from a polished dashboard or directly from the menu bar. Instead of judging your Mac from one snapshot, RAMPA watches how memory behaves throughout your real workload. Review session averages, peaks, trends, and high-usage periods to distinguish normal macOS memory management from sustained pressure that may affect performance. KEY FEATURES • Live memory dashboard View total, used, available, active, wired, compressed, cached, and swap memory in one place. • Estimated memory pressure Get an easy-to-understand health score and pressure assessment based on current and recent activity. • Session history and charts Watch memory, swap, and compression change over time instead of relying on a single reading. • Practical upgrade guidance Use workload-based insights to help determine whether your current Mac has enough memory for the way you actually use it. • Menu bar monitoring Check memory health, view live statistics, pause monitoring, and open the full dashboard without interrupting your work. • Custom alerts Receive notifications when memory usage, swap, or estimated pressure crosses thresholds you choose. Alert cooldowns prevent repeated notification spam. • Detailed session insights Review averages, peaks, 95th-percentile usage, swap growth, session duration, and recent trends. • Export and diagnostics Export session data as CSV or copy a detailed diagnostic report for troubleshooting and comparison. • Flexible monitoring Choose your sampling interval, history duration, alert thresholds, and launch-at-login preference. • Private by design RAMPA stores monitoring history locally on your Mac. No account is required. RAMPA is designed for Mac owners, power users, developers, photographers, video editors, virtual-machine users, and anyone comparing memory configurations before buying their next Mac. RAMPA is a diagnostic aid and does not replace Apple’s Activity Monitor. Memory-pressure assessments and upgrade guidance are estimates and should be considered alongside your real-world experience.
