#12Looks great. Thanks. One thing, maybe make it clear that it's free? I went looking for pricing especially when I saw the support link at the top.

#13As an alternative, I use the free community-edition netdata -- love it at my job, and it works right out of the box on my personal windows and linux machines.
https://www.netdata.cloud/pricing/
(don't let the `.cloud` scare you off, they have a 100% free and functional local-only install)
It's insanely powerful and with some configuration can persist the metrics in a local database.

#14Nice job! I love the clean interface. Is this written in C#?

#15Looks interesting, thanks! Another one I like that hasn't been mentioned elsewhere in this thread is Process Hacker.

Thanks, yeah it is C#/.net9 and WinUI3. I started with C#/WPF, but wanted to get it on the Windows Store and couldn't figure out that would work with WPF.

I realize now that the "Support" link is ambiguous. The price/free issue I'll think about how to make that clear, it's a good point. Going to wait for traffic to subside before making updates, but noted. Thanks

#20> Native WinUI–fast startup, light operation Did anyone notice the Windows Calc app became quite slow to startup recently? It takes 2+ seconds to transform from the empty window with a calc icon to the actual calculator UI. I should get Win7 calc.
If by recently you mean roughly since the release of Windows 10 (or was it 8?), then yes. This is a pretty well remarked on item of embarrassment for Windows.
