A GNOME Shell extension that displays system information such as CPU usage, memory usage, and network rates directly in the GNOME Shell status bar. This original repository is deprecated in favor of a fork (gnome-shell-system-monitor-next-applet) supporting GNOME Shell 40+.
Use cases
- show cpu and memory usage in gnome top bar
- monitor network rates from the gnome shell status bar
- display system stats without opening a separate monitor app
- monitor nvidia gpu memory in gnome shell
- install a system monitor extension on ubuntu gnome
When to choose
- you run GNOME Shell 3.26 to 40 and want system stats in the status bar
- you want a lightweight in-shell alternative to gnome-system-monitor
When to avoid
- you run GNOME Shell 40 or later - use the mgalgs fork instead
- you need a full graphical system monitor with charts and process management
