Why RustPulse

Built for quick checks, not dashboard sprawl.

Menu bar first

Real-time CPU and memory metrics sit directly in the menu bar, with detailed stats one click away.

Live charts

Open the dashboard popover for compact CPU, memory, network, and disk history without opening a heavy app window.

Useful controls

Launch at login, threshold alerts, display presets, and quick access to Activity Monitor are all built in.

Native feel

Tray template icon, no Dock presence, macOS-first behavior, and a lightweight Rust and Tauri stack.
