ProcDump for Mac is a macOS release of Microsoft’s Sysinternals ProcDump tool. It helps Mac developers create core dumps from running applications based on selected performance triggers. The project is built from the ProcDump for Linux code base and adapts the diagnostic workflow for macOS systems. It can capture dumps immediately or after a process meets conditions such as high CPU usage, low CPU usage, memory thresholds, thread count thresholds, or file descriptor thresholds. It also supports repeated captures, timed intervals, process-name waiting, polling frequency control, and extended logging. ProcDump for Mac is useful for developers who need lightweight process diagnostics without relying only on interactive debugging sessions.
