Features

CyberManager includes resource heatmaps, real-time sparklines, theming, system tray integration, and global hotkeys.


Live Sparklines

The main window footer displays real-time CPU and RAM sparkline graphs alongside the process count and totals.

CPU Sparkline

  • Shows total CPU usage history (60-sample rolling window)
  • Overlays kernel time in a secondary color
  • Displays current CPU percentage as text label

RAM Sparkline

  • Shows memory load percentage history (60-sample rolling window)
  • Displays current used RAM in GB as text label

Performance

  • Sparklines update at the configured refresh interval
  • Zero additional overhead — metrics are collected alongside process data
  • 60-sample history provides ~48 seconds of visible trend at default 800ms interval
