Helps ejecting and trashing stuff

I very rarely have issues with my Mac, but when they do arise these often have to do with conflicts between applications. What's Keeping Me? allows you to find and kill programs which are keeping your Mac from running normally.

I did find the application a little counter-intuitive. Instead of telling you which program is causing the trouble, it instead offers you a search box, and you'll have to type the name of the trouble maker.

If you don't know which one it is, then you're pretty much out of luck.

I didn't find the search function that effective either. Or it was sluggish or it simply couldn't find a program which blatantly caused the problem.

However I did like having the possibility to either kill or quit an application.

The concept for What's Keeping Me? is very interesting, however I still believe sticking to 'Force Quit' is your best option when a program is causing you trouble.

  • Pros

    • Easy to quit or kill an app
  • Cons

    • Search isn't always effective
    • Feels a little counter-intuitive

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
