01 · Why ova

Built like a tool, priced like one too.

Every feature that earns its place. Nothing that doesn't.

Near-zero overhead

Streams nettop once and parses incrementally. Idle CPU stays under 0.3% on Apple Silicon.

Helper-process grouping

Browser Helper, GPU Helper, Renderer — all folded under Arc, Chrome, or whichever parent .app they belong to.

Real history

Local SQLite with raw → minute → hour → day rollups. Months of trends without a 100MB log file.

Nothing leaves your Mac

No telemetry, no analytics, no servers. Data lives at ~/Library/Application Support/ova.

Stable identifiers

Bundle IDs survive PID changes. Apps you use every day always show as one row, with their real icon.

Native everything

Swift + AppKit. Adapts to dark/light mode automatically. No Electron, no Catalyst, no surprises.

02 · Three views

One menubar icon. Click to drill down.

What is moving right now

See what is using bandwidth this second. Helper processes fold under their parent — Arc and its 12 helpers count as one.

Today, by the byte

Daily totals per app and a 24-hour bar chart you can hover for exact in/out values. Switch to 7 days or 30 days for weekly and monthly trends.

Yours to tune

Toggle the chart, group system daemons, manage your license, or wipe history. Every measurement lives in a local SQLite file you control.
