Simplistic, minimalistic, a bit nerdy: a retro looking system monitor ;)

User reviews
Latest update works well. I really do like this app.....it is clear and has everything you need. Thank you for the continued support and development of this app
I needed something simple and clean to show me basic system info on the home screen so I tried the free version of this. Took all of two minutes to decide to pay for it, and it's money well-spent. Perfect geeky display that does what it says on the tin, and worth every penny. Thanks, Ben.
mr laws, thank you for this excellent app - you thought of everything , sir ....... and present it nicely - keep on killing it .
thank you for this excellent app....... ya murdered it brother - keep killing it
The widgets no longer work after restarting my phone. Time sits frozen, and battery and memory show up as Null. It was fun while it lasted. EDIT: Launching the app from the app list made it work again. Thank you.
Sure, these system monitor widgets are geeky as hell, but unapologetically so. I've been running Linux in one form or another since 1992 and these little tools hit every kind of sweet spot in my command line heart. It took me two minutes with the free set to decide I had to get the ++ collection. Great stuff!
