An application designed for Android operating systems that records system-level activity. It captures granular data points related to CPU usage, memory allocation, disk I/O, network operations, and thread states. For example, such an application can reveal which processes are consuming the most resources during a period of perceived sluggishness on a mobile device.
This capability is crucial for diagnosing performance bottlenecks, identifying software bugs, and optimizing application behavior. Historically, the methodologies involved in this level of system observation were limited to developers using command-line tools connected to rooted devices. Modern iterations of these apps have democratized access to system-level insights, making performance monitoring attainable by a broader range of users.
