SeePU
Your phone - under control
;)
SeePU configuration. See those two colored icons at the top? (click to enlarge)
SeePU shows the current CPU, RAM and network usage via animated icons in the notification area.
You can easily see whether your processor is being heavily taxed - and for example let it finish its job without burdening it further - or is sitting happily idle, ready for action; as well as the download speed of that large podcast, or whether the Market is actually downloading those updates, or it’s just saying it is.
There are three different styles for the CPU/RAM usage notification icon:
- CPU usage bar
- CPU usage bar/available RAM bar side by side
- CPU usage bar with numeric indicator of available RAM in MB*
…and for the network usage icon:
- total (received+transmitted) data speed
- received data speed/transmitted data speed side by side
- total data speed with numeric indicator in KB/sec*
You can choose the update frequency between 0.5*, 1, 2, 5 seconds.
“What the heck is going on!?”
Historical plotsSeePU can display the historical plots* of CPU, RAM and network usage in the notification pane (the thing that appears when you pull down the notification “window-shade”).
You can also configure SeePU so that when clicking on the CPU/RAM plot, it will ask for confirmation to kill the process* that is currently using the most CPU - when an app is stuck in an infinite loop of 100% CPU usage, pain, regret and sorrow, it’s the humane thing to do, and it’s best done quickly.

SeePU is highly optimized to use as few resources as possible, unlike “similar” apps - to begin with, it disables itself when the screen is off; and a lot of work was done on shaving every possible CPU cycle. It will hardly impact your battery life - after all, Latedroid is the maker of JuiceDefender; you know we care!
