Qalarc Monitor
Qalarc Monitor — by Qalarc — native Android system monitor: real-time per-core CPU, memory + per-app RAM breakdown, network traffic and process list, read straight from procfs. v0.2. Local-first, no ads, no cloud — the phone-side member of the Qalarc monitor family (NetSleuth, RAM Tracker, CPU/GPU Tracker).
Qalarc Monitor is a native Android system monitoring app built in Kotlin — the phone-side member of the Qalarc monitor family. It reads the same kernel interfaces (procfs) as Qalarc's desktop monitors, so the numbers match what you'd see on a Qalarc Linux box.
v0.2 (current). Real-time CPU usage per core; memory and swap statistics including a per-app RAM breakdown sourced from /proc/meminfo and per-process stats; network traffic monitoring; and a running process list — all in a clean native UI with XML views. No ads, no analytics, no cloud sync: everything is computed and displayed on-device.
Associated system. It joins Qalarc's open-source monitor lineup — NetSleuth (passive network surveillance), RAM Tracker and CPU/GPU Tracker (desktop resources) — and the fleet-level Concierge Hub that watches sites, services and machines. qalarc-monitor is the handheld expression of the same idea: local-first telemetry, honest numbers, zero dependency on someone else's cloud. It is designed for the qalarc phone ecosystem alongside the Qalarc Agent (on-device AI command runner) and the gmux phone PWA.
The Qalarc monitor ecosystem
qalarc-monitor is the phone-side member of a family of Qalarc-built monitors — all local-first, no ads, no cloud:
| Monitor | Watches | Surface |
|---|---|---|
| qalarc-monitor (this app) | CPU, RAM, network, processes via procfs | Android phone |
| NetSleuth | Passive network surveillance — devices, traffic, security alerts | Linux desktop |
| RAM Tracker + CPU/GPU Tracker | Desktop memory, CPU and GPU load | Linux desktop |
| Concierge Hub | 22 websites, services, machines, email + comms health | Fleet (Tauri app) |
Same design language throughout: native, honest numbers read from the kernel, zero dependency on someone else's cloud. qalarc-monitor reads the same procfs interfaces as the Linux tools, so its figures are directly comparable with a Qalarc desktop. It belongs to the qalarc phone ecosystem alongside the Qalarc Agent and the gmux phone PWA.
