Tips for Quick Toggles
Click the menu bar item to reveal the glassmorphism panel. 'Keep Awake' automatically restores power policies upon exit to prevent unintended awake states.
Issue Reporting
If you encounter any glitches or have feature suggestions, feel free to open an issue on GitHub.
Network, battery and sampling
Select the primary network interface automatically or choose one manually. Traffic totals cover the current monitoring period. Battery details use system-provided charge, capacity, cycle and charging data; unsupported readings show as unavailable.
Choose a 1, 2, 5 or 10 second background interval. Hidden metrics stop sampling, and icon-only mode stops its timer when collapsed. History charts record while the panel is open.
