System Monitor desktop widget

Watch CPU and memory pressure for your current machine from Kepo.

Performance problems often start as small signals: a fan spins up, memory pressure rises, or one app starts using too much CPU.

You may not need a full system utility open all day, but you do need a quick way to notice pressure.

System Monitor keeps CPU and memory checks inside Kepo.

System Monitor is for observing your current machine, not controlling processes.
