Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Montray is a lightweight tray-icon monitoring utility for systemd services and arbitrary command-line checks on local and remote Linux machines. It consists of a Go-based server that collects incidents and a Rust+Slint desktop client that displays status via a tray icon, supporting SSH tunnels, TLS, and snoozing. The project fills a niche gap for simple, non-enterprise service health monitoring with a clear visual indicator.

Target audience: devops, backend devs, system administrators
