- Always download installers from The Official Download Location(Spoiler: its here) to avoid tampered code from malicious people.
- The state of this project is very much in alpha stage.
- Bugs exists. UI and features are missing and are subject to change throughout its development.
- Versions from 0.1.7 check for updates on launch.
- Windows 11. (Will likely run fine on windows 10, but will require you to have
webview2 installed.)
- You can check if webview 2 is installed already by going to the Start Menu --> Add or Remove Programs and searching for WebView2.
- OSX (in development)
- Linux (Not currently supported, slowly moving towards this)
- 64bit only
Vital is a modern alternative to Windows Task Manager. It aims to provide a familiar experience and more.
- Find processes to kill faster with search 🗡️ (search by pid, name, title)
- Always On Top ensures Vital Utilities app is always above other apps when it matters the most. Unlike scaredy Task Manager 👻
- Dark theme so your retina is safe. 🐼
- Beautiful Graphs 📈📊
- Plentiful information 👓
- Persisted performance data ⛺
- More responsive than task manager 🏎️
- Process affinity/priority profiles 📷
- Simply set and forget. (Start on login needs to be enabled)
- No more repetitive editing process affinities. We all know how bloody annoying it is that discord refuse to fix their compatibility issue with Voicemeeter. Simply set audiodg to one core and all your miseries are gone!
- Stop streaming applications like OBS from affecting your game's frame rates by pinning them to different cpu cores.
- Maintain a useable machine while running cpu intensive workloads in the background. (i.e 3D rendering, video rendering, machine learning).
- Prioritize performance critical applications over others.
-
First identify which applications are competing with eachother for work time. Then assign them to different threads and or change the process priority to improve performance.
-
The more threads the CPU has, the more freedom you will have with the affinity config.
-
The Profile applyer at it's current state is a watch and apply service. This means application launched will use all threads and default priority until the apply service spots it in the next scheduled run.
-
Vital wont magically give you free performance, the performance gain is dependent on the user's ability to identify conflicts and affectively resolving it.
- Ability to share and import profiles is planned.
-
Vital currently isnt aware of how many cores/threads an individual process requires to operate normally, it is up to the user to investigate this. If the user limits a process affinity to a count that is less than what the process needs to run optimally, the process will likely run terribly.
-
Vital currently is missing some features seen in Task Manager, eventually the gaps will be filled.
VitalService.exe is the back bone of the application, without it the app will not work. Admin privileges for VitalService.exe is not required but recommended. Not giving VitalService.exe admin priviledges will lead to the following results:
- Some machine stats will not be collected due to LibreHardware requiring it to collect them.
- Process Affinity profile will not be able to modify the affinity of some processes. ('audiodg' as an example)
If you want your profiles applied and metrics collected when you log in. You can go into settings on the UI and enable run on log in.
- Custom Installer.
- Check for new updates. ✔️
- Quick Common Fixes. (common issues users experience fixed with a few clicks).
- Fix Discord + Voicemeeter Audio problem (Create a profile with audioDg set with one thread).
- Metrics data retention config.
- Metrics sqlite splitting (Rolling file).
- Display process GPU usage in Processes Page.
- Open Vital Utilities via Right click Context menu.
- Lightweight alt+f4 like shortcut for easily killing deadlocked apps that just wont die.
- Export Import Profiles
- Alerts
- Support Linux
- Correlate process utilization with machine utilization
- Support Mac Os (Wont be actively worked on by me, someone will have to take ownership of that code)
- Alerts / Notifications
- Plugins API (Allow third parties to make plugins for Vital)
- Drop .netcore and go complete Rust? 🤔
- Affinity Whitelists. (only these processes can run on this thread)
- Auto updater.
- Default audio device enforcer. Windows refuses to honor your set default devices when you plug new things in!?!?!
- Alexa integration, so you can demand Alexa to turn off your machine from the comfort of your bed.
- Investigate possibility to throttle processes.
- Investigate the possibily of identifying specific processes that share the same process name, so we can be more specific with affinity assigning.
- Investigate if windows has hooks that we can use to apply affinity configs on app launch rather than poll running processes.
- Investigate IFTTT to work with Profiles. (if this process is running or its this time, then enable/disable this profile)
- Recurring Tasks
- Auto empty recyclebin
- Auto clean directory with rules
- Auto copy/move files from one directory to another
- Recurring Tasks
- Investigate ability to identify which threads a process has been executing work on. ( Investigation result: Yes, a spike has been successful in Rust )
- Vulnerability Alerts for installed applications.
Please get in contact with Snazzie if you're interested in helping with anything below.
- Looking for someone who has experience with Wix toolkit to complete the installer
- Looking for someone who has experience with AMD and NVIDIA SDK to grab cpu and gpu data
- To get process FPS and GPU usage
- To get AMD's cpu data like fastest cores
- Looking for someone who has experience with rolling sqlite db file
- Perferbly to stick with Entity Framework
- Need to be able to configure to create a new db to write to every X period
- Looking for someone to help develop OSX support
- Looking for someone to help develop Linux support
