Sloth is a Mac application that displays all open files and sockets in use by all running processes on your system. This makes it easy to inspect which apps are using which files and sockets.

 

• View all open files, directories, IP sockets, devices, sockets and pipes
  
• Filter by name, access mode, volume, type, location, or using regular expressions
  
• Sort by name, process ID, user etc.
  
• View IP socket status, protocol and version
  
• View sockets and pipes established between processes
  
• Inspection window with detailed macOS and Unix file/socket info
  
• Powerful contextual menu for file operations
  
• In-app authentication to run with root privileges
  

Sloth is essentially a friendly, exploratory graphical user interface built on top of the lsof command line tool. The output of lsof is parsed and shown in a searchable, filterable outline view with all sorts of convenient additional functionality. Check out the screenshots below.
