The idea was simple: give GNOME users a clean, minimal, and useful way to monitor system stats directly from the top bar. It shows CPU usage, RAM usage, swap usage, upload speed, download speed, Wi-Fi, volume, and battery information in a compact UI. I wanted it to feel native to GNOME: dark, simple, readable, and not overloaded with unnecessary details. The popup view gives a quick system overview, while the top bar keeps the most important stats visible at a glance. This project started as a small utility for myself, but seeing thousands of downloads so quickly has been really motivating. I’m planning to keep improving it with better customization, more indicators, and performance improvements. Would love to hear feedback from Linux and GNOME users.
