    From the README

    Task Explorer is a powerful task management tool designed not only to monitor running applications but to provide deep insight into what those applications are doing. Its user interface prioritizes speed and efficiency, delivering real-time data on processes with minimal interaction. Instead of requiring multiple windows or sub-windows, Task Explorer displays relevant information in accessible panels. When selecting a process, detailed information is displayed in the lower half of the screen, allowing you to navigate through the data seamlessly using the arrow keys. The dynamic data refresh allows users to observe changes in real-time, offering additional clarity and insight into system performance and behavior.

    Task Explorer offers an array of advanced features to provide comprehensive visibility into the system. The Thread Panel displays a stack trace for the selected thread, offering immediate insights into the current actions of an application, which is particularly useful for diagnosing deadlocks or performance bottlenecks. The Memory Panel allows users to view and edit process memory, featuring an advanced memory editor with string search capabilities. In the Handles Panel, all open handles are displayed, including essential details such as file names, current file positions, and sizes, giving a clear view of the disk operations a program is performing.
