DevWatch
A GNOME extension that gives “project-aware system intelligence” — it shows processes, ports, performance, conflicts, resource usage, and session restore directly in the desktop panel.
DevWatch transforms GNOME from a generic desktop into a developer-aware operating layer that understands your projects, tracks their runtime behavior, and eliminates common workflow friction — directly from the panel.
Why DevWatch?
Linux developers think in terms of projects, services, ports, and builds — not raw PIDs and CPU graphs. Yet every existing tool (
htop,lsof, GNOME System Monitor) is process-oriented, not project-oriented. DevWatch fills that gap by mapping running system processes back to your development projects, surfacing exactly the runtime intelligence you actually need without ever leaving the desktop.
