## What it is
A dependency-free Node.js library for retrieving detailed system and OS information such as CPU, memory, disk, network, and battery stats. It works with Node.js, Bun, and Deno as a backend/server-side library.

## Use cases
- get cpu and memory usage in node.js
- read system hardware info from a node app
- monitor disk and network stats server-side
- collect os information for a monitoring dashboard
- detect battery and system temperature in node
- build a system stats cli tool

## When to choose
- you need comprehensive system/hardware metrics in Node.js, Bun, or Deno
- you want a zero-dependency, well-maintained library
- you need cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- you are building server-side monitoring or diagnostics tools

## When to avoid
- you need system info in a browser - it is backend-only
- you need a TypeScript-native API today (v6 TypeScript rewrite is still beta)
- you need real-time low-level performance counters beyond what OS APIs expose

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, monitoring
- domain: developer-tools, operating-systems, backend
- platform: windows, cross-platform, cli
- tags: system-information, hardware-info, os-info, no-dependencies, typescript-rewrite, nodejs, linux, macos
