Problem

The Dashboard tab currently shows a one-line OS / CPU / RAM / disk summary and a live uptime counter. Compared to the richness of other tabs (Network with live charts, System Health with SMART data, Performance with per-tweak controls), the Dashboard feels sparse and underutilized as the app's landing page.

Proposed improvements

The Dashboard should serve as a quick-glance overview that surfaces the most important information from other tabs:

  • System vitals cards ΓÇö CPU usage %, RAM usage %, disk usage % with mini gauges or progress rings
  • Network status pill ΓÇö current ping health verdict from the Network tab (green/yellow/red)
  • Storage overview ΓÇö per-drive usage bars (similar to Disk Analyzer but condensed)
  • Recent activity ΓÇö last cleanup date, last update check, last scan results
  • Quick actions ΓÇö one-click buttons for common tasks (Run cleanup, Check updates, Start network monitor)
  • System alerts ΓÇö surface any warnings from System Health (failing SMART, RAM errors, pending reboot)

Design direction

Think of it as a car dashboard ΓÇö at a glance you should know if everything is healthy or if something needs attention. Each card should link to its detailed tab on click.
