SemPulse

A small panel for your Windows desktop. Your system, your music and a pixel cat, always in reach.

Personal build · Windows · v1.6

Open source soon. The code will be on GitHub.

Why it exists

With two monitors, the things you check all day end up on the wrong screen. SemPulse puts CPU, GPU, memory, network, weather and music controls in one slim bar on your main monitor, and steps aside when a game goes full screen.

What it does

Everything at a glance.

CPU, GPU and VRAM, memory, network speed, date, time and weather, in an edge bar or a floating widget.

The floating widget with system meters

Two kinds of music control.

Spotify and everything else (browser video included) get separate controls, so pausing one never stops the other.

It knows when to move.

When a game or video takes over the main screen, the panel slides to the second monitor and comes back afterwards.

Also

  • Desktop icons, moved

    One button moves the icons on your main screen to empty spots on the second one. Another puts them back.

Why I made it

I built SemPulse for my own desk. It’s light on purpose: the cat takes about 26 MB and well under 1% of a CPU core.

The cat's moods, picked from the panel. Walk, sit, sleep, jump, puff or play.
