Monitrust

Monitrust is a lightweight macOS menu bar monitor written in Rust. It shows CPU/RAM/Network indicators in the status bar and opens a detailed popover with live charts and top processes (CPU or Memory) on hover.

Features

• Menu bar indicators for CPU, RAM, and Network
• Smooth sparklines for CPU/RAM/Network
• Top processes list with CPU/Memory tabs
• Minimal, Tahoe-style UI

Requirements

• macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel)
• Xcode Command Line Tools
• Rust (stable toolchain)

Build & Run (local)

1. Install Xcode Command Line Tools:

   xcode-select --install

2. Install Rust:

   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

3. Build and run:

   cargo run

Build Release

cargo build --release
./target/release/monitrust

GitHub Actions Build

This repo includes a macOS CI workflow that builds a release binary and uploads it as an artifact.

To use it:

• Push to main/master, or run the workflow manually from the Actions tab.
• Download the monitrust-macos.zip artifact and run the binary inside.

Usage

• Launch the app; the status bar shows CPU/RAM/NET.
• Click the status bar area to open the popover.
• Switch between CPU and Memory tabs for top processes.
• Use Show more to expand the list.

Download (no Xcode/Rust)

For users who just want to try the app, grab a prebuilt macOS bundle from GitHub Releases.

1. Go to Releases and download Monitrust-macos.zip.
2. Unzip and move Monitrust.app to /Applications (optional).
3. First run: if Gatekeeper blocks it, right‑click the app and choose Open.
