Powered by ZenMonitor.Core system telemetry

A system monitor made to be super tiny and fast

Note

After a lot of time of testing things, struggling and just being burnt out, I have FINALLY found a solution. Tauri + Vue interacting with a C# API on a different process. Not special I know, but it works and that's what counts.

Overview

ZenMonitor is a modern system monitor (with planned task manager capabilities) built using C#, Rust (Tauri), and Vue. The architecture is designed around a modular, interface-driven backend for system telemetry, decoupled from the UI via a Producer‑Consumer pattern.

Planned Features:

• System information including real time cpu usage, processes, storage and much more.
• System management like starting, killing and setting priorities for processes.
• Modular backend via ZenMonitor.Core – hardware abstraction with platform‑specific implementations.

Current Development Status:

• The C# backend integration is not yet implemented – the dotnet process currently not doing anything.
• The Vue frontend is under active rebuild – it's minimal and serves as a placeholder for the eventual UI.
• The build pipeline and cross‑platform packaging (Tauri + sidecar) are fully functional and production‑ready.

Frontend Status

• Currently just something thrown together for a base.
• Does not provide any useful function at the moment.
• Will most probably be completely rewritten from how it currently looks.

The app is being developed primarily for Linux; Windows support will follow once the core library implements the required platform backends.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/Akeoott/ZenMonitor
cd ./ZenMonitor/src/

Running the project:

• Options

  • npm run [command] - Executes one of the scripts in package.json

• Commands:

  • dev – runs the frontend server
  • dotnet – runs the dotnet server
  • build – builds the frontend for production
  • tauri:[platform] dev – runs Tauri in dev mode with sidecar
  • tauri:[platform] build – builds the final bundled application

• Platforms:

  • win – Windows-x64
  • linux – Linux-x64
  • mac – MacOS-arm64

• Example:

  • npm run dev - Run the web server alone
  • npm run tauri:win dev - Run the tauri app for windows in dev mode
  • npm run tauri:linux build - Build the tauri app for linux
