What's hogging it
While he's sweating or dizzy, the busiest processes by GPU, CPU or memory, each with an End task that asks first and won't touch Windows itself.
🩺 Watches your PC
He sweats when your GPU does.
Live vitals for every part of your PC, what's hogging it, what starts with Windows and the developer clutter eating your drive. No admin rights, and nothing leaves your PC.
His mood follows your hardware
You'll see it on him first.
He sweats past 80°C, pants under a heat shimmer when it gets scorching, gets dizzy when memory fills up, and overstuffs his shell when a drive is full. He waits out a spike before he reacts, and you set every line yourself.
Live vitals
Everything, at a glance.
GPU and CPU temperature and load, VRAM, memory, every drive, drive temperatures, fans and the battery, with sparklines over the last 10 minutes or the last hour.
CPU temperature too
Windows hides it, so he reads it from LibreHardwareMonitor or HWiNFO. Let Claude set it up writes the install task for you to read first.
A heads-up, once
One notification when something crosses the line, another only if it gets worse, and a log of the last 40 alerts.
What Shellby himself costs
He owns up to his own share: Shellby himself: 1% CPU, 450 MB.
Getting it back
What's hogging it, and what to do.
Starts with Windows
Every startup entry, with a Switch off that works like Task Manager's, so switching it back on puts things as they were.
Developer clutter
What Docker, WSL's virtual disks and the npm, pnpm, pip, Cargo and Gradle caches are sitting on. Tens of gigabytes.
Ask Shellby why
Why it's hot, what's running that you don't need, what's safe to clear. Each is a Claude task that reports back.
He never acts alone
He never deletes, kills or switches anything off himself.
No admin rights
And nothing leaves your PC.
