TMOG: A New Native Task Manager

Hacker News •
×

TMOG is a new system monitor that combines the depth of Task Manager with the clarity of Activity Monitor, offering native performance across Mac, Windows, and Linux. It provides a dense, click-through Summary view with CPU, thermals, GPU, memory, storage, network, and energy metrics, plus a process tree for deeper inspection.

The tool displays per-core workload shapes, color-coded performance and efficiency cores, and optional kernel time. Memory pressure is shown alongside application, wired, compressed, cached, committed, and swap data, with live utilization and configurable scrolling history. Hardware details and sensor trends are available when the platform exposes them.

TMOG includes fast VFD meters, dense history graphs, and native actions. It supports tree view, filtering, sorting, and follow mode. Users can customize light or dark mode, or choose classic green, amber, blue, or monochrome phosphor palettes, with adjustable color and saturation.

As a beta, TMOG may require manual approval on first launch since it is not yet digitally signed. It is built natively for each OS: Swift + App Kit on macOS 13+ (Apple silicon and Intel), Win32 on Windows 11, and C++ + Qt 6 on Linux (X11/Wayland).
