SystemMonitor

Multiplatform System Health Monitor for PC.

Autodetects sensors:

• Network usage (+ latency)
• CPU usage & frequency
• RAM usage
• Disk usage, free space and live read/write throughput
• CPU temperature - full priority chain: LibreHardwareMonitor/OpenHardwareMonitor → Linux psutil/sysfs → Windows WMI thermal zone → load-based estimate (labelled ~Temp when inferred)
• GPU usage & temperature (NVIDIA via nvidia-smi, or hardware-monitor backends)
• Fan speeds (hardware monitor / Linux psutil)
• Battery percentage (laptops)

Tiles for optional sensors appear automatically only when the underlying hardware/dependency is available. Install the optional backend once to unlock everything: pip install wmi (Windows) and/or run LibreHardwareMonitor for true motherboard sensor values.

🧊 Futuristic tiles

Every device group renders as a rounded glass card with a soft accent glow, theme-aware palette and inline sparkline graphs.

📌 Widget mode (lives on your desktop)

Right-click the System Monitor title and enable "Widget mode" to pin the monitor onto the desktop layer itself:

• Windows – embedded into the shell's wallpaper layer (same approach as Rainmeter): it sits behind every window — never on top of your programs — yet survives Show Desktop (Win+D), Win+M and virtual-desktop switches. Explorer restarts are detected and re-embedded automatically.
• Linux/X11 – desktop-type window: sticky across workspaces, below other windows, no taskbar entry (wmctrl hints where supported).
• macOS – normal window kept out of the way (desktop layer needs PyObjC; best-effort).

The setting is remembered in ~/.config/system-monitor/config.json and restored on the next launch.

You can switch the order of sensor groups. Boasts a theme selector. Save Log will save the active readings into your Documents. The dynamic tiles are now also able to be reorganised upon window resizing. A config.json file is included to save the window sizing, the selected theme and favorite order.
