Appstat – Process Monitor for Windows

Hey HN, I made a Windows process monitor for app developers and advanced end users. I wanted a taskmgr system-level graph view per app. Windows procmon, while capable, has always been tedious to set up (esp. if not used often). That's pretty much the whole idea behind the app--to simplify app-level monitoring, to make it easy. I hope some of you find it useful!

In plain words

Appstat is a Windows process monitor designed for app developers and advanced users who need to track system-level performance metrics per application. It provides graph-based views similar to Task Manager but aims to simplify the setup and ongoing use compared to traditional Windows process monitoring tools. The tool focuses on making application-level monitoring accessible and straightforward for those who monitor performance infrequently or regularly.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
