10 months of unstoppable weekly build in public, first €1.50 donation, PC Workman is almost out of alpha
Hey guys, been building this thing called PC Workman solo for about 10 months now.
It’s an open-source system monitor for Windows that doesn’t just show you numbers, it actually tries to explain why your PC feels slow. And learning after time.
Knows exactly, your leagueoflegends.exe eating your CPU ;)
Everything offline, no avaiable internet access.
Instead of another Task Manager clone, it does stuff like:
- Learns your normal usage over weeks and tells you when something is off ("CPU is 67% right now… your usual is 28%, check this process")
- Has a fully offline AI assistant (hck_GPT) that answers normal questions like "which process is eating my battery?" or "is it safe to kill this?", no cloud, no API key, works completely without internet.
- Real TURBO mode that actually does things: 3 profiles that stop non-essential services, suspend idle background processes, auto-switch power plans, etc.
- Startup Manager that reads your registry and rates how much each thing slows down boot
- DeepMonitor that keeps everything in SQLite so you can look back months, not just the current session
The AI part was the most fun (and took the longest). I ended up with a 9-layer routing engine, 200+ intent patterns in both Polish and English, and different "mood" settings for answers. All pure Python string matching with typo tolerance, zero NLP libraries.
Last week I got my first donation ever.
€1.50. After 10 months. I grinned like an idiot ;)
Right now I’m slowly leaving alpha. A few more things and I’ll try to get it on the Microsoft Store.
If anyone wants to try it, the .exe is on GitHub (Sigstore signed, VirusTotal 0/70 clean):

-Wednesday Code Autopsy (best interest part of my code and explaining it)
-Friday Shipped & Scarred (what shipped, what difficult or something from life)
