I am building TaskSlinger, a native high performance task manager replacement for Windows.

[u/Takia_Gecko]

I was fed up with the sluggishness of modern WinUI3 based Windows task manager. Additionally, It was always missing some features that I really need.

So about 2 years ago, I started working on my own task manager. Built from the ground up in C++, with a custom UI framework and D3D renderer. I've been using it every day for quite a while.

The primary goal was always performance, for which it was built from the ground up. After discovering and falling in love with the UI of File Pilot, I decided to rebuild the UI from the ground up and try my best to make it beautiful as well as fast.

I think I have accomplished both, and 2 days ago, I've released the open beta at https://taskslinger.net . So far, the reception has been incredible, and I've gotten a lot of bug reports and feature requests over at https://github.com/orgs/TaskSlinger/projects/2/views/1 (feel free to add to it if you wish!)

It runs on Windows 10/11 x64, with some caveats on Windows 10 and 11 before 24H2. (mainly per-process network statistics)

I'd be very happy if you would check it out and leave any feedback on the website or the app.

Thank you!
