Desktop monitor for Linux with tabs that mirror the macOS beta feature set — still early, best for testers and power users.

Recommended Download

Linux tarball

Extract → run install-rNitro-linux.sh → launches from ~/.local/share/rnitro with a desktop entry.

Installer checks dependencies (python3-gi, GTK 4, libadwaita) and sets up a venv automatically. Also on GitHub Releases.

Use the apt or dnf one-liners above for your distro.

Download rNitro-v0.1-Linux-Beta-Pre-release-x64.tar.gz or install-rNitro-linux.sh, extract if needed, then run bash install-rNitro-linux.sh.

Launch from your app menu or system tray. Monitor, Advisor, Chat, and Cleaner tabs mirror the macOS beta feature set where metrics exist.
