This Week in StartupBase #23

Hey everyone 👋

One of mine this week, then back to normal.

Vitals is a menu bar app that tells you what is slowing your Mac down. Activity Monitor gives you a wall of processes. Vitals tells you which apps are eating your CPU, memory, battery and network, in plain words.

Built in 2 days, because it was a problem that annoyed me every day
Launched last week off a demo on X that went further than I expected
850 licences in the first week. Pay once, keep it forever
Updated almost every day since, mostly from replies people sent me

It is on Product Hunt today. An upvote would genuinely help.

Back to other people's startups next week.

Thanks, Atta
