Activity Monitor Is the Task Manager for Mac
This article introduces the official task manager in macOS, explains what it can do, and presents three alternative Mac task managers for users who would like to explore other options. Just like Windows has a task manager, called simply Task Manager, macOS also comes with an application that provides information about computer performance and running software and allows users to terminate processes if they start misbehaving forcibly. Task managers are useful applications that let you monitor what’s happening on your computer and provide you with the ability to shut down misbehaving processes and file system activity for read and write events on sensitive data. Applications sometimes crash unexpectedly, processes hang up and take up precious computing resources, and files get lost or corrupted because of bugs.
Modern operating systems are not flawless.
