Astrolabe
Catch local container leaks before they cost you a day.
Host and container vitals, right in your menu bar.
Astrolabe is a macOS menu bar app that charts the position of your processes — host CPU, memory, and disk at a glance, with a drop-down detail view for every running Docker container. Threshold-based notifications fire when containers approach their configured warn or critical limits, and Astrolabe knows the difference between a container with a real memory cap and one running unbounded.

Features
What Astrolabe actually does for your workflow.
Spot the leak from the menu bar
Always-on host CPU, memory, and disk in the corner of your screen — the first signal that a build agent or runaway container is about to OOM, before the IDE hangs.
Stop guessing which container did it
One click shows the offender — CPU, memory, and whether it's running under a real limit.
Get paged before you'd notice the slowdown
Native macOS notifications when any container crosses your warn or critical thresholds.
No more lies in your dashboard
Containers without an explicit memory limit are flagged honestly, instead of showing a meaningless 95-percent-of-infinity.
Quiet by default, loud when it matters
Defaults tuned for daily dev work. Tighten thresholds when you're chasing a leak.
Installs on locked-down Macs
Developer ID signed and Apple Notary accepted — opens on managed laptops without IT intervention.
