Desktop system monitoring widgets

This cluster comprises lightweight desktop widgets that display live system resource usage (CPU, memory, disk, network, GPU, battery, temperature) in a user-friendly interface. Dated entries are spread thinly from 2007 to mid-2026, with no dominant release period. Among members with traction signals, edgepilot leads with 19 stars, followed by omarchy-dashboard (2 stars) and mac-glance (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 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
