Sho Metrics - System Monitoring

Overview

Sho Metrics turns your Stream Deck into a live system monitoring dashboard. It's free, open source, and available for both Windows and macOS.

Install the plugin, drag a metric onto a key, and you're good to go. No admin privileges or extra setup required to track the following built-in metrics:

CPU: usage %

GPU: Nvidia (usage %, VRAM, temperature, wattage); Apple silicon Macs (usage %).

Memory: used and total %

Disk: usage %; read/write speed is built in on macOS and needs the helper on Windows

Network: speed and ping latency to any target

Battery: laptop and Bluetooth devices, plus experimental support for Logitech/ROG peripherals connected through a USB dongle

Custom metrics from any HTTP JSON endpoint, with authentication support and an easy-to-use jq filter builder

On Windows, an additional ShoMetrics Helper (built on LibreHardwareMonitor, requires admin privileges) unlocks a much wider range of metrics (some models may not be supported):

CPU: per-core usage, clock, wattage, voltage, temperature

GPU (AMD/Intel/Nvidia): usage, clock, wattage, voltage, temperature, fan RPM

Memory: temperature, timings

Motherboard: voltage, fan RPM

Pick from 4 real-time views (Circle, Text, Bar, Sparkline) and 5 themes (Default, Color Filled, Terminal & Terminal CRT, Pixel Window, Glass). Mix any combination, customize the colors, and set dynamic color thresholds. All views work on the Stream Deck + touch strip screen, too.

Fit more into fewer keys with Triple, Dense, and Stacked Metrics. Monitor multiple metrics on a single Stream Deck key.

Set your own refresh rate per key, and press any key anytime for a manual refresh.

Sho Metrics is an open source project. The source code is available at https://github.com/ShoMetrics/sho_metrics

Fixed incorrect unit selection in Bit/s mode that caused network speeds to display as 999 Kb/s or 999 Mb/s .
