What's Keeping Me
What's Keeping Me is a system monitoring and process management utility for macOS that helps users understand which applications and background processes are consuming system resources and preventing the computer from sleeping or entering idle states. It displays detailed information about active processes, their resource usage, and reasons why the Mac cannot sleep—such as active downloads, video playback, or system processes. The app is useful for troubleshooting performance issues, managing battery life, and identifying unwanted applications running in the background.

1 suggestionNo clear information about a native Apple Silicon build of What's Keeping Me could be found in available sources, and the app appears to have limited recent documentation online. The developer (HAMSoft) does not appear to be actively maintaining this application with recent updates. If you rely on this app, contact the developer directly to ask about Apple Silicon support plans. For an actively maintained alternative with native Apple Silicon support, consider Activity Monitor (built into macOS), which provides comprehensive process and resource monitoring, or iStat Menus, a commercial system monitoring tool that runs natively on M-series Macs and offers more detailed insights into what is keeping your Mac awake.
