Hi kseewatt, 





Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 



From your post, it appears that you are having an issue with getting a false “low memory” notification.  We want to help. As a good first step, make sure that your macOS is updated to the most recent version of macOS. Here’s How to update the software on your Mac - Apple Support It’s always a good idea to back up your Mac before updating. 


If the issue persists and to see the amount of system memory being used on your Mac, you can View memory usage in Activity Monitor on Mac - Apple Support


If the program you downloaded is from the internet and not from the App Store, you may want to remove it. Test to see if the issue persists after removing the third-party program.


Reach back out with any questions. 




Have a great day!
