Had a pretty bad experience with this. The web app is very buggy and frustrating.

Is there a tool similar to this one on MacOS?

It's literally the only thing from windows I miss. NTFS gives you a journal of all FS events that's virtually instant for "free" (only free as in no additional cost beyond what windows is already incurring, there's definitely overhead). In my limited research Mac APIs like FSEvents are not enough to recreate this.

This reminds me a lot of live queries in BeFS.

I like how 30+ year old NT architecture comes back again to solve things in ways that no other major OS has developed since then.

Nothing I have used so far in the Python ecosystem comes even close to Rye. Everything is incredibly fast, environments work across multiple operating systems, etc. For me, Poetry has been a massive headache (try installing PyQt6 Windows).

Sorry, but it sounds like you're shilling for Fork.

App crashes when opening the Settings on MacOS Sonoma (M2 Pro).

Thanks. I have opened an issue. I do test on Mac but I'll need to try that specific architecture.

I can't think of anything more dangerous than to share your own residential IP address.
