Commands

Section titled “Commands”
  • Kill Process: processes listed busiest first with app icon, CPU and memory; ↵ terminates (SIGTERM) and ⌘ ↵ force-kills (SIGKILL).
  • Timers: timer 10m, pomodoro, set a timer for 1h 30m; a notification and a sound when done; the Timers view lets you cancel.
  • Notes and Emoji (colour emoji rendered with AppKit; recently used emoji are kept).
  • Quick Look on a file with ⌘ Y; Check for Updates asks GitHub for a newer stable release (Homebrew installs run brew upgrade).
  • Reveal Log File opens the error log. Ferrocast is a single instance.
  • Every builtin and system command uses an SF Symbol rendered by AppKit.
