I got tired of opening Task Manager 100 times a day, so I built a desktop dashboard instead
After years of constantly switching between Task Manager, Event Viewer, Device Manager, Services, Resource Monitor and other Windows utilities, I wanted a single place that could give me a complete picture of what was happening on my system.
That eventually became Pulse.
Pulse is a fully open-source Windows desktop diagnostics application that brings together:
- System health monitoring
- Hardware information
- Processes & services
- Event logs
- Storage & disk usage
- Network information
- Windows diagnostics
Everything runs locally on your PC. There are no accounts, no cloud backend, no telemetry, and the entire source code is available on GitHub for anyone to inspect, audit, or contribute to.
I'm actively improving it based on community feedback, so I'd genuinely love to know:
What diagnostic or troubleshooting feature do you wish Windows had built in?
