Is my PC busy?

One word from your CPU and memory, for the person at the door.

By ShiftPaneVersion 1.0.0Updated Oct 20, 2026

Drawn in your browser from the widget's sample data. On your phone it shows your PC's own.

Readme

Turns your CPU and memory into one word: Busy or All clear, with a bar for whichever is higher. Prop the phone up by the door during a render and nobody has to ask.

Settings

  • Busy above: the CPU or memory percent that counts as busy. 80 by default.

How it works

A five-line collector reads the cpu and memory sources and compares them with your setting. It's the example the widget docs start with.

Source

Every file in the package, exactly as reviewed. collector.js is the only code, and it runs in the sandbox on your PC.
