About

Pulsebar is a tiny CPU / RAM meter that sits directly on the Windows 11

taskbar, just left of the notification area. Top bar = CPU, bottom bar = RAM.

Ultra lightweight (~4 MB RAM, ~0% CPU), single dependency-free exe.

Left-click opens Task Manager, right-click shows a menu, hover shows exact

values. Follows light/dark theme, DPI changes, and Explorer restarts.
