Kansei shows everything the computer is doing, live.

Kansei: gauges for processor, memory, disk and power, live graphs and the busiest programs

Why it exists

Kansei is the fullest screen in a system about emptiness. It is there because a calm screen should never hide what the machine is doing. It stays out of sight under the Terminal until you ask for it.

What it leaves out

Nothing on the home screen. No tray icon, no widgets, no alerts. It opens from the Terminal and closes with Esc.

What it does

At a glance.
Processor, memory, disk and power as gauges, with two minutes of history and every core and temperature.
Every program, and what it costs.
Memory, processor and disk use for each app, with a button to stop it.
The rest of the machine.
Who your computer is talking to, which ports are open, what fills the disk, what starts at boot, and a security check.

Ask

Why is the computer slow?

The web engine is using most of the processor. Stopping Mado's video tab would free it.
