Loadables is a macOS utility that provides an exhaustive list of all background processes, plugins, and libraries that are loaded into your system at boot time, login, or on demand. It helps users identify and manage the services provided by running applications, differentiating between system defaults and third-party additions.
User Services
Gain full control over what runs when you log in. Loadables inspects User Launch Agents, identifying third-party tools and helpers that might be slowing down your system. You can easily stop processes, disable services, or remove them entirely.
- Deep Inspection: View detailed service definitions (Plists), verify digital signatures (`codesign`), and inspect bundle information directly within the app.
- Smart Filtering: Instantly search and filter services by name, executable path, or status. The dynamic sidebar updates counts in real-time.
System Services
Dive deeper into the core of your Mac. Loadables monitors System Launch Daemons, Kernel Extensions, Mach Services, and more. It distinguishes between standard macOS components and external additions, helping you maintain a clean and stable environment.
- System Inventory: Comprehensive list of background processes, including detailed info like PIDs, status indicators, and file paths.
- Service Control: Toggle the running state of agents and daemons, or reveal their definition files and binaries in Finder.
- Monitored Components: Login Items, System Starter, Contextual Menu Items, Spotlight Plug-ins, Internet Plug-ins, and Privileged Helper Tools.
Legacy app (subject to sandboxing restrictions as all App Store apps)
Loadables 1.0 still available on the App Store for older macOS versions.
