Purpose

Purpose of This Policy

This Editorial Policy describes the standards task-manager-mac.com applies to all published content — including method guides, app comparison tables, Terminal command references, and cleanup checklists. It exists to ensure that readers can trust the accuracy and independence of the information presented.

Sources

Data Sources and Verification

Command and Path Accuracy

All Terminal commands, file paths, and macOS UI navigation paths are tested directly on macOS Sequoia, Ventura, and Monterey before publication. Version-specific differences in UI paths are documented with an explicit macOS version table.

App Data

Version numbers, license types, and macOS compatibility requirements are sourced from the app's official GitHub repository, developer website, or Mac App Store listing. Data is reviewed and updated when app releases introduce changes.

Tier 1 — Primary  ·  Used wherever available
  • Apple Developer Documentation (developer.apple.com)
  • Apple Support pages (support.apple.com)
  • Official app GitHub repositories
  • Mac App Store listing (version, compatibility)
  • Developer's official pricing page
Tier 2 — Secondary  ·  Used when Tier 1 unavailable
  • MacRumors, Ars Technica, 9to5Mac for macOS change documentation
  • SourceForge project pages
  • Verified press releases from app developers
  • Community-verified Terminal command references
Comparisons

App Comparison Standards

Apps included in comparison tables are evaluated on the following objective criteria: cost (free vs. paid, one-time vs. subscription), primary function, macOS version support, Apple Silicon compatibility, and last update date.

No paid placements. Apps are not paid for inclusion or placement in comparison tables. Ranking order reflects the criteria stated in the table header, not commercial relationships.
Commercial disclosure: task-manager-mac.com may receive compensation when users download apps via torrentmac.net links on this site. This does not affect comparison methodology — all apps are evaluated on identical criteria regardless of whether a torrentmac.net download link is available.
Corrections

Corrections Policy

Factual corrections are applied within 3 business days of verification. When a substantive correction is made to a published page, the "Last Updated" timestamp on that page is revised. Readers who identify inaccuracies are encouraged to submit corrections via the contact form with a link to a primary source.

Independence

Independence

Editorial decisions — which apps are included, how they are ranked, and what content is published — are made independently of commercial partnerships. torrentmac.net's status as the primary download partner does not prevent other apps or platforms from receiving fair, accurate coverage in comparison tables.
