Description
Tell your Mac what's wrong in your own words. What Happened records what your Mac does every ten seconds, so it can answer "why was my Mac slow at noon?" with names, and then fix it with your OK. Fixes are one click from the menu bar, the cleaner and uninstaller move things to the Trash with Undo, Space maps your disk, and an MCP server lets Claude Code or Codex read how your own apps behaved. Your history stays on your Mac.

Could you build this?
Partial The front-end menu bar app is straightforward, but recording continuous OS-level telemetry every 10 seconds and safely resolving OS issues requires native macOS systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires a native Swift/Objective-C app interfacing with Darwin/macOS system APIs (sysctl, libproc, os_log, launchd) to track process metrics, I/O, and CPU consumption with minimal battery drain. The challenge lies in creating safe diagnostic repair routines with undo capabilities and managing elevated privileges without compromising system integrity.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
