Sloth is a native Mac app that shows all open files, directories, sockets, pipes, and devices in use by all running processes on your system. This makes it easy to inspect which apps are using which files, etc.
Features
- View all open files, directories, IP sockets, devices, Unix domain sockets, and pipes
- Filter by name, access mode, volume, type, location, or using regular expressions
- Sort by process name, file count, type, process ID, user ID, Carbon PSN, bundle UTI, etc.

- Inspection window with detailed macOS and Unix file/socket/process info
- Powerful contextual menu for file operations
