🤔 Ever Wonder Why Something Is Running on Your Computer?

You open Task Manager (or Activity Monitor) and see a program running. You wonder: "What started this?" Is it malware? Is it a hidden background service? Did something you installed trigger it?

witr answers that question in seconds. It looks at any process, port, container, or file and traces it back to what launched it. You get a clear map of what's running and exactly why it's on your system.

⬇️ Getting Started

Getting witr up and running takes less than a minute. Here's what to do:

  3. Look for the file that ends with .exe and click it to download.
  4. Once the download finishes, open the file. Your computer may ask for permission to run it — click "Yes" or "Run."
  5. That's it! witr opens up and is ready to use.

👍 Why Choose witr?

🧠 How Does witr Work?

At its core, witr asks your operating system a simple question: "Who is responsible for this?"

Imagine you see a process called "helper.exe" running. You think, "Did I install this?" Instead of searching the web, you type one command into witr. Instantly, witr shows you:

"helper.exe was started by setup_installer.exe, which was run by you at 3:45 PM on Tuesday. This file is located in the Program Files folder."

It is that straightforward. No complicated setups, no confusing charts — just clear, direct answers about what is running on your machine.

witr is designed to work on modern computers with minimal requirements. Here's what you need:

Operating System Minimum Version Processor
