macOS Tahoe added folder automation triggers to Shortcuts, so does a dedicated file organizer still earn its place? Here is what Tahoe's building blocks actually cover, the failure modes they leave to you (half-written downloads, no undo, an existing backlog), and where Ornix fits.

Activity Monitor tells you what your Mac is doing, but only while you are looking at it. Here are the built-in ways to keep an eye on CPU load without a window on top of your work, which third-party monitors do it better, and where an ambient widget fits.
