CLUSTER CPU-MONITOR-USAGE · 16 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2018-11-09

Desktop system monitors

This cluster consists of desktop system monitor applications that display real-time CPU, memory, disk, network, and sometimes GPU usage, and include process management capabilities. The dated entries are sparse: one each in November 2018 and February 2019, one in May 2025, and two in early 2026 (February and March), with a long gap from 2019 to 2025. claritytop leads on traction with 2 stars, followed by SysMon-One with 1 star and ActivityMonitor with 0 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 16 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
