RunCat CPU

Overview

CPU Aesthetic Animated Monitor — 60+ Characters, Core X-Ray, Heritage, Mario Pixel Art

Your CPU stats are no longer just numbers — they're a vibe. RunCat CPU brings 60+ unique animated characters and the revolutionary Core X-Ray system to your Stream Deck, turning your multi-core CPU performance into stunning, real-time digital art on your keys. Every animation reacts dynamically to your actual processor load: idle means a calm stroll, while high load triggers vibrant, fluid generative art.

- 2 New Aesthetic Themes: Emerald Waterfall (stunning dynamic waterfall featuring realistic fluid splash physics reacting to CPU speed) and Night Rain (cozy cyberpunk city rain with warm flickering street lamps in perspective, parallax buildings, and a silhouette couple under a neon umbrella)

Core X-Ray: Turn Your Multi-Core CPU into Stunning Real-Time Digital Art 🎨⚡

Go beyond simple, static gauges. The Core X-Ray collection unlocks the raw visual beauty of your processor, mapping your multi-core CPU usage core-by-core to mesmerizing, fluid generative graphics.

Watch each individual CPU core light up independently in real-time—whether it's spinning orbital Saturn rings, pulsating digital matrixes, flowing pixel rivers, or sweeping radar waves. Don't just monitor your system's performance—turn it into living, breathing computational art right on your keys!
