About

AppControl is a free advanced Task Manager for Windows with full history. Scroll back through days of system activity to see exactly what spiked your CPU, filled RAM, maxed the GPU or disk, or overheated your PC, with CPU and GPU temperature tracking over time. Built-in privacy monitoring reveals which apps accessed your webcam, microphone, or location, plus hidden installs and background tasks. Go beyond End Task: permanently disable problem apps, block entire publishers with one click, and build custom rules that stay enforced. Real-time alerts flag new or unusual apps and privacy access the moment they happen. Every process gets a plain-language description, so you can skip the web search. An optional open-source MCP extension connects Claude, Cursor, or other AI tools so you can ask about your PC's activity in plain English, and a CLI is included for power users. Lightweight (20 MB), free, and built to replace Task Manager on every PC you manage.

About

Based on full access transparency, CryptoSpike detects unusual activities in your file system and blocks attacks in real-time. In the event of a ransomware attack, the granular restore function makes it possible to restore affected files immediately.

Detect data access patterns and file extensions that are typical of ransomware. Targeted recovery of damaged data directly from the snapshot. Immediately and automatically prevent attacks and alert those responsible. Adjust monitoring policies at the volume or share level in real time. Complete data transparency with access traceability at the file or user level. If required for data protection reasons, user-specific data is only available via dual verification.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Gives you a really good view of what’s actually going on with your PC, including processes, CPU/memory, network activity and startup stuff. I like that you can actually block things rather than just looking through logs afterwards. It also keeps everything local and doesn’t constantly nag you with notifications.

Cons

  • There’s quite a lot going on when you first open it, so it takes a little while to get familiar with where everything is and what all the options do.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • None that I know of I am only a victim of this poorly designed product being implemented, by our IT department.

Cons

  • Kept me from being able to develop and debug SSIS packages that read and write from network drives.
