System & Monitoring

CyberLauncher includes real-time system monitoring, storage information, an execution scheduler, and execution history, all as HUD overlays.

All three HUDs are also reachable from More options (⋯): System Diagnostics (HUD), Storage Diagnostics, Task Scheduler.

System Monitor

Top Bar

The top bar shows live monitors:

Element Description
RAM Memory usage (used / total GB) — click opens the HUD
CPU Processor utilization + core count — click opens the HUD
Clock Optional digital clock (Settings → SYSTEM → Show digital clock in top bar); auto-hidden on narrow screens

System Resources HUD (SYSTEM RESOURCES)

Section Contents
PERFORMANCE Memory (RAM) with Used: X GB / Total: Y GB, Processor with {n} cores, Uptime (system uptime)
INFO Launches today (launch counter), Activation shortcut (current toggle hotkey), Platform (Windows)

Progress bars are color-coded by load. The launch counter covers the last 24 hours (Launches in the last 24 hours), mirrored in the footer.

Storage HUD (STORAGE)

Drive Information (DRIVES)

Lists detected system drives:

  • Drive {letter} with Free: X GB / Total: Y GB
  • Usage percentage with progress-bar visualization
  • Scanning drives... state while enumerating

Configuration (CONFIGURATION)

  • Data folder — path to %APPDATA%/CyberLauncher (config + icon cache)
  • Open folder button to reveal it in Explorer

Execution Scheduler (SCHEDULER)

Opened from the top-bar clock — footer date-time (System time & date — Click for Task Scheduler), or ⋯ → Task Scheduler.

Scheduling a Task (NEW SCHEDULED TASK)

Run a shortcut or command after a countdown.

  1. Pick the type: SHORTCUT (SELECT SHORTCUT from your library) or CONSOLE CMD (free command text)
  2. Set WAIT TIMEOUT in Minutes + Seconds
  3. Press SCHEDULE EXECUTION (Launch X / Console: "cmd..." queued)

Active Tasks (ACTIVE SCHEDULED TASKS)

Element Description
Counter {n} ACTIVE pending executions
Row Local executable or Command: ... + live Countdown
Cancel Cancel execution per task
Status Show / Hide tasks toggle; No pending executions in queue when empty

Notes:

  • Multiple tasks can be queued; while any are pending the renderer stays awake in the tray
  • Scheduler tasks are included in Settings → BACKUP & DATA export / import

Use Cases

  • Launch work apps after a delay
  • Run console commands on a timer
  • Open meeting apps before calls
  • Delayed dir / sys / script runs via Cyber Terminal commands

Execution History (EXECUTION HISTORY)

Open execution history HUD tracks everything you launch (stored in cyber_launch_history):

Each record shows icon, name, PATH, relative TIME (Just now, {m}m ago, {h}h ago, {d}d ago), and type (Application, Win Store App, File, Folder).

Action Description
Reopen Click a record to launch the item again
Remove Remove execution record from history per item
CLEAR MEMORY Wipe the whole history

There are no max-items / retention-period settings and no in-history text filter. The curated views live in the main panel: MOST USED (by total count, Reset most used) and MOST RECENT (by last launch, Remove from recents / Reset most recent); see Organization.

System Power Hub

Located in the footer, the Power Hub provides direct access to core system power commands with a safety confirmation modal:

  • Shutdown: Powered off cleanly via system commands
  • Restart: Safely reboot your computer
  • Sleep: Put system into low-power standby
  • Lock: Instantly lock Windows workstation

Each power action prompts a 10-second cancelable countdown with immediate execution or cancel options to prevent accidental clicks.

Automated Backups (BACKUP & DATA)

CyberLauncher includes a scheduled automatic backup engine alongside manual JSON export/import:

  • Automatic snapshots: Periodically saves your shortcuts, categories, and settings
  • Retention policy: Automatically rotates and retains past snapshots without cluttering storage
  • Location: Backups are stored safely within %APPDATA%/CyberLauncher/backups
  • Restore: Easy point-and-click restoration from any previous automatic backup snapshot

Standalone Desktop Alerts

Scheduled tasks and imminent countdowns feature dedicated desktop overlay alerts:

  • Renders in an independent, lightweight desktop window
  • Alerts remain visible and alert you even when the main launcher panel is hidden or minimized to tray
  • Visual countdown with progress tracking and direct cancel option

Clock, Uptime & Launch Counter

Location Control
Header clock Settings → SYSTEM → Show digital clock in top bar (Displays digital time in the header next to CPU and RAM monitors)
Footer uptime Show system uptime in footer (System uptime, tooltip System uptime)
Footer launches Show launch counter in footer (Launches in the last 24 hours)
Footer date-time Show date and time in footer (Current date); click opens the Task Scheduler

Each footer segment can also be hidden via right-click (Hide system uptime / Hide launch counter / Hide date and time, plus Footer settings...).

Diagnostics

About → Copy diagnostics (Diagnostics copied) copies environment + version info for bug reports. The Cyber Terminal sys command prints CPU / RAM / uptime inline.

CyberLauncher is free and open source software licensed under GPLv3. Made by CyberGems.
