Make sure there's no open issue for the same request before submit.

unlike that early days of macOS where they actually told you everything about memory usage, the current activity monitor doesnt and neither does this app. its horrendous. in like of conventional memory understandings its important to have the breakdown of memory (Free memory) and Used memory = (Wired, Active, Inactive, Compressed), but when we talk about "Unified Memory" the understand complete changes. and so should what we see in a memory monitor. it should show everything including how much GPU memory is being used. see the photo as an example of a better layout for apple silicon macs. (note app memory is not part of used memory its only the sum of all the processes in activity monitor and how much of the total memory is used by apps (its an informational just like cached files is an informational) -- if you need reference to implementing GPU memory in use see (sascha-simons app "GPU monitor PRO" for silicon Macs)
