SysPulse

A silent Windows security monitor that sends Telegram alerts

August 18, 2026 I Built SysPulse — A 30MB Windows Security Monitor That Texts Me on Telegram

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋

I'm a solo developer, and I just shipped SysPulse — a lightweight Windows security monitor that sends real-time Telegram alerts when something suspicious happens on your PC.

The problem I wanted to solve:

Traditional antivirus suites are bloated (200-600MB RAM) and often miss the subtle stuff: a new process appearing from a temp folder, a USB drive being plugged in, or a program sneaking into your Windows Startup.

What SysPulse does:

🖥️ Watches new processes (with full file paths)

🔌 Detects USB connections in real-time

🚀 Monitors Windows Startup changes

📊 Alerts on CPU/RAM/Disk spikes

📡 Sends everything to your Telegram

The philosophy:

I wanted a "silent butler", not a "noisy guard". Something that sits quietly in the background, uses less than 30MB RAM, and only speaks when it matters.

Tech stack:

Python → compiled to a single .exe

Telegram Bot API for alerts

HWID-locked licensing (one license, one machine)

I've also been documenting the whole journey — the technical challenges, the false positives with antivirus software, and the process of building a product as a solo dev.
