monitorApp

monitorApp is a tiny application that brings you closer to your machine by simply displaying system information, in real-time, right on the screen. If you feel the need to have information about memory usage, IP, OS, processor data, battery life status, etc. — this tool can help you achieve that.

You'll notice that after the installation is over, monitorApp will slap an informational, transparent list in the right corner of your screen. You won't be able to move it, click it, or close it, as the app creates no shortcuts, be that on the desktop or system tray.

Still, that doesn't mean you're not in control here. The layout contains three entries that let you open the tool's context menu. Those values contained in rectangular boxes (RAM Used, Mem Used, and C:\) are the areas you should right-click for revealing the app's settings.

After figuring out how the context menu works, you can start customizing the little transparent panel. The default setup has most of the options checked, but if you deem some of them unimportant you can simply uncheck them, making the layout even smaller and unobtrusive. You can change the font and the color of the layout in order to make it better integrate with your current wallpaper.

Regarding the Options menu, one can change the position of the layout, unlock it, show/hide removable drives, network interface.

monitorApp is nothing but a system information tool with a unorthodox functionality, at least at first sight. However, spending some time discovering all its nooks and crannies will shift your opinion right away, as you can turn it into a flexible and easy-to-operate informational panel.
