In their own words

CoSMOS

CoSMOS is a free self-service gamehacking tool for people who want to modify their own games while waiting for trainers. It is offered in Steam Deck, PC Beginner, and PC Advanced versions, with options for beginners and experienced gamehackers. The Steam Deck edition is a native application for Linux and Steam Deck, with a simplified memory scanner and built-in disassembler. PC Beginner is integrated with Cheat Happens Aurora. PC Advanced includes a memory scanner, VEH debugger, script engine, disassembler, dump viewer, speedhack, .NET assembly explorer, reference search, process viewers, and script editor; its listed version is 6.1.5. CoSMOS uses hardware-accelerated scans and can read and import 99% of CheatEngine tables. The free tool requires no registration, has no locked features, and includes no adware or hidden software. Cheat Happens provides technical support through its message board. The maker advises using cheats and trainers offline only and says it does not make cheats for online or multiplayer games.

memwatch

memwatch is a free, open-source macOS utility for searching and changing values in a running process’s memory through an interactive interface. Searches can target strings, floating-point numbers in 32- or 64-bit formats, and signed or unsigned integers from 8 to 64 bits. Comparisons such as equal, greater than, or less than can narrow results. Once values are found, memwatch can read, write, monitor, freeze, or unfreeze them. Its interface also has commands to pause and resume a target process and send it Unix signals, though execution-state support is described as experimental. The project presents memwatch as a macOS memory editor and says it should build and run on recent OS X versions. Its author describes using it for game cheats and as a debugging aid alongside tools such as gdb. Installation requires building from source with phosg and libamd64, then running make and sudo make install. Attaching to a target process uses sudo. The MIT License permits use without charge and supplies the software without warranty.
