Native macOS app that transforms system stats into interactive 3D objects. Monitor network speed, CPU usage, battery, and more through smooth, animated visuals that live on your desktop. Designed to feel fast, minimal, and alive - not like traditional widgets. More collections, animated objects, and new system modules for deeper insights are already in development and coming soon

Congrats on the launch! This is such a fresh take on system monitoring - the 3D object approach is genuinely delightful. I'm curious about performance impact: since these are animated visualizations running on the desktop, how optimized is Tell to avoid becoming a resource hog itself? Do you have any benchmarks on CPU/memory usage?

@osakasaul Appreciate it Saul, means a lot 🙏
Performance was something I focused on a lot while building this. It’s designed to stay lightweight - it’s not constantly doing heavy work, just checking system stats at intervals and updating the visuals smoothly.
In normal use CPU and memory stay pretty minimal, and if it’s hidden or not active on the desktop it’s basically idle.
Still refining and optimizing it as I go, but the goal is for it to feel smooth without becoming part of the problem it’s visualising.

Hehehe love this kind of widgets that makes our work funnier! It's a matter of enjoying the journey as well. Wish you all the best Will
