Ampy v0.1.0

Ampy v0.1.0

First public release. Ampy is a CRT-styled hardware monitor with a resident
pet — a little chip whose mood is your system's status — plus an Android
companion that turns an old USB-tethered phone into a desk display.

What's in the box

• ampy-windows-x64-v0.1.0.zip — the desktop app. Unzip and run ampy.exe.
  No installer, no admin rights, settings live in %APPDATA%\Ampy.
• ampy-companion-v0.1.0.apk — the optional phone companion (Android 8+,
  arm64). Sideload it, enable USB debugging, plug in. Walkthrough in
  docs/BUILDING_ANDROID.md.
• SHA256SUMS.txt — verify your download:
  Get-FileHash ampy-windows-x64-v0.1.0.zip in PowerShell.

Heads up

• SmartScreen will warn you — this build is not code-signed (no
  certificate yet). Check the hash, or build from source with
  cargo run -p ampy --release.
• CPU temperature is hidden in this release: reading it safely needs a
  kernel sensor source, and shipping that properly (signed driver) is
  roadmap work. GPU temperature works out of the box on NVIDIA.
• The walking animation is placeholder art. He knows. Be kind.

Highlights

• Three skins (Classic, Light, Ampy98), Instant + Graph layouts, fullscreen
  kiosk mode, system tray, adjustable polling.
• Mood engine: idle / busy / panic / sleep, with a patrol that walks to the
  card that's redlining and knocks on it.
• USB phone companion: native rendering, ~KB/s over the cable, no network,
  OLED burn-in care, auto-launches when you plug in.
• Tiny: ~2 MB resident minimized to tray.
