Argus Argus contributors

Argus reads Windows' native interfaces directly from Rust, with an interface built on Tauri 2 and SolidJS. Processes, performance, services, startup apps, network connections and the last 7 days of history share one window, and the charts move smoothly at the display's refresh rate; resident in the system tray, it uses about 1% of one CPU core. It is named after Argus Panoptes, the hundred-eyed giant of Greek myth. ✨ Features 🧮Processes: View by app, as a process tree or as a list, including each process's GPU usage, plus network traffic when the privileged service is enabled or Argus runs as administrator. Sort, search, end a process or its whole tree; the details pane shows the command line, user, integrity level and more. ⚡Priority and efficiency mode: Set them from the context menu, or create rules that apply them every time a program starts. 📈Performance: CPU (per core, P-cores and E-cores, frequency, temperature, power), memory, disks, network, GPU and battery. 🧩Services and startup apps: Start and stop services and change their startup type; enable or disable startup apps with the same switch as Windows Task Manager. 🌐Connections and ports: TCP and UDP endpoints with the processes they belong to; search by exact port and close connections. 🔍File locks: Drop a file or folder onto the window to find the processes using it, combining Restart Manager with handle enumeration, including processes' current directories; the privileged service can check more processes. 🕘History: Resource charts for the last 7 days; click any moment to see the busiest processes at that time. 📌System tray: Show or hide the window with the global shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Esc; it uses very little while hidden. 🔄In-app updates: Stable and beta channels, with optional GitHub proxies; only updates that pass signature verification are installed. 🎨Native look: Mica background and the system accent color; dark and light themes follow Windows by default or can be chosen in Settings. 🌍Languages: English and Simplified Chinese, following the Windows display language by default; a welcome guide sets up the essentials on first start. 👤No administrator rights needed: See the path and resource usage of every process as a standard user. 🛡️Optional privileged service: After a single administrator approval, Argus running as a standard user can also manage system processes, apply rules automatically, measure per-process network traffic, control services and close connections; it can be uninstalled in Settings.
