A lightweight macOS shell script that automatically monitors and manages Raycast’s memory usage. If Raycast consumes more than a defined memory threshold (default: 500 MB), the script will automatically restart the app and notify the user.

• Monitors Raycast’s memory usage periodically

• Automatically restarts Raycast when memory exceeds threshold

• Sends macOS system notifications on restart (optional if IBM Notifier is installed)

• Writes detailed logs for each check

• Runs automatically via macOS LaunchAgent (no manual execution needed)

1. Copy the script

vi ~/raycast_mem_monitor.sh

Paste the script content and save.

2. Make it executable

chmod +x ~/raycast_mem_monitor.sh

3. Create the LaunchAgent

vi ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.raycastmem.plist

Paste the script content and change [USERNAME] to your device name.

4. Load the task

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.raycastmem.plist

All activity is logged to:

~/raycast_mem_monitor.log

Each entry includes a timestamp, current memory usage, and restart actions.

If you want to use system notification, please install IBM Notifier.
