eul: An Efficient System Monitoring Tool for macOS
Developed by Gao Sun, eul is an intuitive and compact real-time system monitoring tool aimed directly at macOS users. The objective of the project is to cater to the needs of those macOS users who seek an efficient way to monitor their system's performance, displaying valuable and detailed information - and all this, in real time!
Project Overview:
eul continues to gain immense appreciation for its capability to deliver real-time status. Use cases of this macOS status monitoring tool extend to anyone keen to monitor their system's performance, including developers, data analysts, freelancers, gamers, or simply novice macOS users. eul aims to solve the problem of lag and latency in the system by providing rapid updates on system status and helps users recognize issues such as memory leakage or excessive CPU usage before they become major performance inhibitors.
Project Features:
eul brings some remarkable features to the table. Some of the major features include real-time monitoring, customizability concerning UI, support for dark mode, localization, as well as display options to only show information that's necessary. eul demonstrates these features in action by displaying data on CPU usage, memory occupied, disk space consumption, and the network's performance status. This way, eul not only aims at keeping your system healthy but also helps in enhancing the longevity of your device.
Technology Stack:
Implemented in Swift, eul has been developed with an intention to maximize speed and promote crisp UI rendering. Apple's Swift language was used due to its efficiency, speed, and strong support for macOS' Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks. Not only limited to Swift, but eul also incorporates SwiftUI to power its user interface, along with the use of Combine library for processing values over time.
Project Structure and Architecture:
eul boasts a clean, modular structure, where all the performance-related data is systematized and delivered right on your status bar. The project is designed in a way that reflects SwiftUI's principles, accompanied by Combine's event handling abilities. This amalgamation not only presents a powerful technical foundation but also makes eul incredibly responsive and adaptable to macOS Catalina and above.
