## What it is
Vitals is a GNOME Shell extension that displays computer temperature, voltage, fan speed, memory usage, CPU load, network speed, and storage stats in the top menu bar. It polls hardware sensors asynchronously to provide a smooth monitoring experience.

## Use cases
- show cpu temperature in gnome top bar
- monitor fan speed on linux desktop
- display memory usage in gnome shell
- track network speed from the panel
- watch system vitals like voltage and storage stats
- monitor cpu load at a glance on gnome

## When to choose
- you use GNOME Shell on Linux and want sensor stats in the top bar
- you want a lightweight, asynchronous system monitor without opening an app
- you need one extension covering temperature, fans, memory, network, and storage

## When to avoid
- you use a desktop environment other than GNOME
- you need deep historical graphs or logging rather than live readouts
- you need remote/server monitoring across multiple machines

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, developer-tools
- domain: monitoring, operating-systems, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: gnome-shell-extension, system-monitor, hardware-sensors, top-bar, lm-sensors, linux, desktop
