Monty, watching itself.
A self-hosted status screen that runs full-time on the always-on machine and auto-loads on boot. It shows Monty's own health, system load, current task, recent activity, alongside the services it keeps an eye on. One glance tells you everything's running.

The brief
Monty runs around the clock on a machine that's always on. The dashboard is how we keep an eye on it without digging through logs, a single screen that answers "is everything alright?" at a glance.
It boots with the machine and loads itself in full-screen, so the moment the box is up, Monty's vital signs are on display: what it's doing right now, what it's done recently, how hard the hardware is working, and whether the things it looks after are still ticking over.
CPU, memory, disk, network and uptime, refreshed continuously, the health of the machine Monty lives on.
Runs as a background service and opens itself full-screen, no one ever has to launch it.
A live status line and activity feed show the current task and what's happened recently.
On the screen
CPU, RAM and disk as live gauges, with a rolling load graph, network throughput, temperature and uptime.
A status pill flips between idle and working, with the task in plain English and when it last changed.
A running log of what Monty's been up to, jobs completed, syncs run, work pushed.
How much thinking Monty's done today, plus how much headroom is left against its session and weekly budgets.
Tiles for the things Monty looks after, like a live venture, surfaced right alongside its own health.
Weather, the day's diary, and home signals like energy and bin day, so the picture is complete.
