CLUSTER CPU-DESKTOP-OVERLAY · 8 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-04-22

Desktop system monitor overlays

This cluster comprises desktop applications that display real-time system metrics—such as CPU, GPU, memory, temperatures, fan speeds, disk, network, battery, and process data—via an always-on overlay or HUD. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only 4 dated entries exist before the index start, predating the index or remaining undated. Among the traction leaders, Statusberry has the highest activity with 4 stars, while infopanel-bin and watch-x have no stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
