Conky is a system monitor for X. It can display almost anything, either on the root window or in its own window. In addition to its many built-in objects, Conky can also display information gathered through scripts and external programs.

Conky includes more than 250 built-in objects, with support for a wide range of system statistics including uname, uptime, CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, top-style process statistics, and network monitoring. It also includes built-in IMAP and POP3 support, integration with several music players such as MPD, XMMS2, and Audacious, and much more. Conky can present this information as text or through simple progress bars and graph widgets, using a variety of fonts and colors.
