Process Monitor

Process Monitor is an integrated task manager that shows what is running, resource usage, and lets you kill hung processes — like Activity Monitor or Task Manager, but built into Spec ADE.

Opening the monitor

Create a "Monitor" tab from the "+" button in any pane. It opens as a regular tab — splittable, placeable next to the terminal, or in the background.

Process table

Lists all running processes with PID, name, CPU %, RAM, user, status. Click column headers to sort. Search box to filter. Right-click to "Kill Process" — confirm to terminate. On macOS/Linux there is also "Force Kill" if SIGTERM does not work.

Killing processes

Terminating a process may lose unsaved data from that application. Be sure before terminating.
