# Can Tuhi tell me why my Mac is slow, hot or low on memory?

Yes. When you ask why your Mac is slow, hot or short on memory, Tuhi reads your Mac's live resources at that moment — memory and memory pressure, processor load and temperature — and tells you which is the likely cause, then points to a fix.

Typical outcomes: a nearly full startup disk (Tuhi suggests freeing space), memory under pressure from many open apps, or heavy background work (letting it finish or scheduling it for Quiet Hours helps). The reading is taken once, when you ask — it isn't a constant monitor, so it adds no ongoing load.
