Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any kind of information on your desktop. It can also run on Wayland, macOS, output to your console, a file, or even HTTP (oh my!).

👉 Grab the latest release from GitHub.

📹 An introduction to Conky (YouTube).

Features

Conky can display more than 300 built-in objects, including support for:

  • A plethora of OS stats (uname, uptime, CPU usage, mem usage, disk usage, "top" like process stats, and network monitoring, just to name a few).
  • Built-in IMAP and POP3 support.
  • Built-in support for many popular music players (MPD, XMMS2, Audacious).
  • Can be extended using built-in Lua support, or any of your own scripts and programs (more).
  • Built-in Imlib2 and Cairo bindings for arbitrary drawing with Lua (more).
  • Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Haiku, and macOS!
  • Docker image available for amd64, armv7, and aarch64 (aka armv8)

... and much much more.

Conky can display information either as text, or using simple progress bars and graph widgets, with different fonts and colours, as well as handle mouse events.

Quickstart

Conky comes bundled with many package managers. However, if you'd like to try the latest release of Conky, you can try the AppImage build. If you have jq and curl installed, run the following command to fetch the latest AppImage:

$ curl -sL -o conky-x86_64.AppImage \
    $(curl -sL https://api.github.com/repos/brndnmtthws/conky/releases/latest | \
    jq --raw-output '.assets[0] | .browser_download_url')
$ ls
conky-x86_64.AppImage

If you don't have jq and curl installed, go to https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/releases/latest and fetch the latest AppImage. Then:

$ chmod +x ./conky-x86_64.AppImage
$ ./conky-x86_64.AppImage -C > ~/.conkyrc
$ ./conky-x86_64.AppImage

And that's it! Check out the Wiki for more details on configuring Conky.

Note: To use the AppImage, you may need to install additional runtime libraries.
