FindDiskKiller is for the moment when your Mac is warm, the disk is busy, and a process list does not explain why. It keeps the investigation in one path: identify the application, inspect the locations it touches, then start a bounded trace when you need direct file evidence. Follow the evidence 1. Find the application Compare CPU, disk I/O, network, memory, and time-range trends in the application workspace. Sustained activity is easier to understand when the evidence stays attached to the app that produced it. Ask first: which application is keeping the disk busy, and is the activity sustained? 2. Follow it to the locations File Activity shows related locations, writable folders, open files, and recent changes. It gives you a useful next question without pretending that a changed path alone proves who wrote it. Move from the application to the folders and files involved. 3. Trace only when you need proof Start a time-bounded folder or file trace explicitly.
