Master your desktop experience with system monitoring, world clocks, AI agent, and productivity tools
- Nine main tabs: Home, World Clocks, Performance, Notes, Agent, Uptime, Clipboard, Authenticator, and Settings
- Hash-based URLs for bookmarking and browser back/forward — e.g.
#/agent/chat/{id},#/settings/agent,#/notes/note/{id} - Persistent tab memory with URL as the source of truth when a hash is present
- Native menu bar item drawn by a small Swift helper: CPU/RAM/disk/battery rings, upload/download speeds, a calendar-page date and live clocks

- Memory monitoring with used/total RAM
- Storage tracking across all drives
- Network activity with upload/download speeds
- Battery status on laptops
- Configurable visibility per metric (Settings → System Stats)
- Live tray updates — rings colour amber/red as load rises; the network cell has a fixed width so the menu bar doesn't shift
- Home dashboard with system stat cards and Uptime Kuma summary widgets
