AI agents now run things on your Mac for you: dev servers, a copy of your project for every task, local models, plugins. They rarely clean up. Pollymetric shows what's running, who started it, what it costs and what got left behind: servers still running after the agent quit, worktrees filling your disk, models holding memory, plugins with keys in plain text. Hand any problem to your own agent to fix, approved step by step. Free, open source, local.

Could you build this?
Partial Monitoring background processes, mapping process trees to ephemeral agent sessions, tracking orphaned git worktrees, and auditing system resources on macOS requires deep OS-level systems programming.
What it would actually take: Requires a native macOS app (Swift/Rust) leveraging `libproc`, `sysctl`, `lsof`, and audit/endpoint security APIs or polling `/bin/ps` and file system descriptors to attribute child processes (node, python, docker) to specific parent agents. The hard part is heuristically linking untracked dev servers, memory leaks, and orphaned `.git/worktrees` to specific past agent processes without causing noticeable CPU overhead or requiring elevated root permissions. Requires low-level macOS systems and process monitoring expertise.
