Tauri System Monitor (Task Manager)

View Source Code
RustTypeScriptTauriReactReact RouterSysinfo Crate

A cross-platform, native-feeling system monitoring tool built with Rust and Tauri. It reads low-level hardware metrics (CPU, RAM, Disk I/O) and streams them to a lightweight frontend.

System Metrics

▹Ultra-low background resource consumption
▹Zero-latency IPC streaming via Rust
▹Sub-millisecond OS telemetry polling

Why Did I Build This?

"Standard task managers are either OS-locked (like Windows Task Manager) or built on Electron, which ironically consumes the very RAM it is trying to monitor. I wanted a universally deployable, bare-metal fast monitor that respects system resources."

Architecture & Decisions

The core engine is built in Rust using the `sysinfo` crate to securely hook into OS-level telemetry. Instead of using a bulky Electron wrapper, Rust serializes this telemetry into JSON and streams it via Tauri's IPC (Inter-Process Communication) to a React frontend. The UI strictly acts as a dumb consumer, ensuring zero business logic blocks the render thread.

Key Features

  • 01.Real-time CPU core, RAM, and Disk I/O telemetry
  • 02.Active process tracking and memory footprint analysis
  • 03.Network interface throughput monitoring
  • 04.Cross-platform execution via Tauri IPC
