Stacer is a graphical Linux system optimisation and monitoring application that brings together everyday maintenance tasks and resource information in a single interface.
Originally developed by Oguzhan Inan, the application has been continued by QuentiumYT. The maintained fork uses Qt 6 and retains Stacer’s approach of providing system information, monitoring and administrative controls through a series of dedicated pages.
The application is intended for desktop users who prefer graphical tools to managing services, processes and system maintenance from the terminal. Its dashboard provides a convenient starting point, while the other sections offer more detailed controls for investigating performance problems and keeping a Linux installation tidy.
This is free and open source software.
