In August, a new task manager called TMOG was introduced by Dave Plummer, a former Microsoft engineer who worked on Windows NT 4.0 and also created the first task manager 30 years ago. Task managers are tools that help users monitor and manage the performance of their computers, such as tracking CPU usage, memory consumption, and running processes. Plummer developed TMOG initially for macOS, believing that Apple’s built-in system monitor was not comprehensive enough for the platform. The application was built using C++ for its core functionality, with a user interface made in Swift and AppKit, which are programming languages and frameworks used on Apple devices. The Windows and Linux versions of TMOG were released on September 23 and 24, respectively. While the core functionality remains the same across all platforms, the technologies used to build the user interface differ. On Windows, the app uses Win32 and Direct2D, which are standard tools for Windows application development, while Linux uses Qt6, a popular cross-platform framework. The application has now reached version 1.0.0, a stable release with translations in several languages, including French. The interface is described as refined and responsive on all three platforms. One notable feature of TMOG is its default use of a high refresh rate for displaying system metrics, which can make the interface look busy or cluttered at first glance—sometimes likened to a "Christmas tree" appearance. However, users can adjust the refresh rate and measurement intervals to balance performance and resource usage. The app offers similar features across all platforms, including customizable themes and a saturation gauge that shows how much of a system’s resources are being used. With version 1.0, a "flight recorder" feature was added, allowing users to record system activity over a set time. This feature is available only to users with a Pro license. In the free version of TMOG, most of the features available during the beta testing phase remain unchanged. However, the interface now includes a "PRO" section in the side column, offering additional tabs such as Power and frequency, Flight recorder, Connections, Installed apps, Drivers, Disk space, and Benchmarks. The Pro license costs $39.95 "for life," meaning it is a one-time purchase without ongoing subscriptions. Both the free and Pro versions of TMOG can be downloaded from the official website.
