Current

Current Telemetry

Real-time CPU, RAM, thermal, and process-tree monitoring — the smallest app in Nautilus.

• Launch: python3 apps/Current/main.py or Ctrl+Alt+C
• Memory target: ~15 MB
• UI: PySide6 (single file, ~600 lines)

Overview

Current shows live system health with a set of metric cards and a color-coded process tree. It polls once per second from a background thread, so the UI never stutters.

Features

• SystemCollector — a QThread that polls system metrics every second via psutil: per-core and total CPU %, frequency, RAM, swap, disk, sensor temperatures, battery, network I/O deltas, and uptime. Falls back to a zero-metrics mode if psutil is absent.
• MetricCards — label + value + a 3 px progress bar per metric.
• Process tree — top-100 processes by RSS with color coding (coral > 500 MB, amber > 200 MB).
• Kill processes — SIGKILL / taskkill with a confirmation dialog.
