Features

Glanceable. Out of the way. Genuinely useful.

Built like a real tool, not a skin — 35 tests, modular collectors, a proper Windows AppBar.

Click-through

Pins to the top of your screen but never steals clicks — your apps stay fully usable. Hover to reveal the detail panel.

Reserves screen space

Registers as a Windows AppBar like the taskbar, so maximized windows sit below the bar instead of being covered. Self-healing across restarts.

Real temperatures

GPU temp out of the box via nvidia-smi; CPU temp through LibreHardwareMonitor. Pulsing red alerts when something redlines.

Dev-stack health

Live up/down dots for Docker, WSL (vmmem), Ollama, and any local service. The part developers actually keep glancing at.

Synthwave styling

A neon look with selectable palettes — Classic synthwave, Tron ice, or Toxic green. Try the switcher in the demo above.

Open source

MIT-licensed, Electron + a clean modular architecture. Read every line, file an issue, or add your own collector.

About

It started with a CPU at 90%.

ClawMonitor began as a quick fix for the constant "what's pegging my machine?" question — and turned into a proper little tool. It shows the essentials at a glance, drops a detail panel on hover, and keeps an eye on the dev services you care about, all without ever blocking the apps underneath.

It's free, open-source, and built to be hackable: each metric is a small, independently tested collector, so adding a new one is a few lines.
