OmniMon v5.0.0 - Agentic AI, Ed25519 Security & Deep OS Telemetry

The biggest release yet: agentic AI with Ollama, Ed25519-signed releases, deep OS telemetry, SRE automations, system tray, and CLI parity.

OmniMon v5.0.0

The biggest OmniMon release yet. v5.0 transforms OmniMon from a system monitor into an intelligent, security-hardened operations platform.

Agentic AI

The AI is no longer just an advisor - it’s an agent. Connect Ollama for local LLM support or use cloud providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Gemini), then interact with natural language:

  • Tool calling - tell the AI to kill processes, create automations, or configure settings
  • Self-configuring AI - adjusts its own settings through tool calls
  • Non-technical explanations - plain language descriptions of system issues

Ed25519 Security & Cryptography

  • Ed25519 digital signatures (NIST FIPS 186-5) for every release binary
  • SHA-256 integrity hashes - verify downloads haven’t been tampered with
  • AES-256-GCM encryption for security reports and audit logs
  • verify_release() and verify_update() functions for secure update verification
  • 85% code coverage enforcement on macOS and Linux CI

Deep OS Telemetry

  • Process grouping - logical clustering of related processes
  • Native OS app icons - see actual application icons, not just names
  • Energy impact scores - per-process energy consumption metrics
  • Per-process network throughput - bytes in/out tracked per PID

SRE Automations Engine

  • User-defined automation rules for system management
  • Auto-kill motor - automated process termination with SIGTERM → SIGKILL escalation
  • Native OS notifications for alerts and threshold events
  • Temporal correlation - track and correlate patterns over time

System Tray & Background Mode

  • Run OmniMon silently in the system tray
  • Autostart support - launch automatically with your OS
  • Quick access to core features without a visible window

CLI Parity

The terminal interface now has full feature parity with the desktop app:

  • AI analysis commands
  • Process management
  • Automation rules
  • Status reporting and tool calling

Infrastructure

  • Migrated to bun for 3-5x faster dependency installs
  • Optimized CI/CD pipeline with parallel security audits
  • Cross-platform test coverage on macOS, Windows, and Linux
