After installation

When you first open Mewl, start in this order:

  1. Open Overview to confirm the machine snapshot and current runtime state.
  2. Visit Processes to see what is already running on the host.
  3. Use Managed to save the services you want Mewl to control intentionally.
  4. Use Logs, Ports, and Monitor when you need diagnostics, binding visibility, or host-pressure context.

Current scope

Mewl is Linux-first right now. The runtime bridge relies on Linux host-inspection commands and paths for process, port, system-log, disk, network, and GPU integrations.
