gputaskman is a free, open-source GPU task manager that shows what's really using your VRAM. Monitor memory and GPU activity by process, identify local AI models, and inspect estimated model weights, KV cache, and runtime buffers. See when GPU workloads use system RAM, compare usage snapshots, or export JSON for scripting. Built for developers running local LLMs, training models, or debugging GPU performance across Windows, Linux, WSL, and experimental macOS support.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and reporting are straightforward, but per-process VRAM attribution and live GPU telemetry depend on vendor driver APIs (such as NVML) and OS-specific internals that a vibe-coder may struggle to get accurate.
What it would actually take: Build a desktop app (Tauri/Electron or Qt) backed by a native telemetry layer that polls NVIDIA NVML, AMD ADLX/ROCm SMI, and Windows/Linux process-level GPU counters. The hard parts are correctly attributing memory to processes across drivers and OSes, and estimating model weight and KV-cache footprints from model metadata. This requires GPU systems and driver-level expertise plus test hardware across vendors.
