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

HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors, voltages, temperatures, fans speed. The program handles the most common sensor chips, like ITE® IT87 series, most Winbond® ICs, and others. In addition, it can read modern CPUs on-die core thermal sensors, as well has hard drives temperature via S.M.A.R.T, and video card GPU temperature. Preliminary support of Intel Alder Lake, Z6xx platform and DDR5 memory. AMD Ryzen 5700G, 5600G and 5300G APUs. AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and 6700 XT GPUs. Added hotspot and GDDR6 temperatures on NVIDIA GPUs. Run the setup executable file, and let it guide you for the installation process. You can remove the program either from the Add or Remove Programs window (from Settings, Control Panel), or choose Uninstall HWMonitor from Start menu, Programs, CPUID, HWMonitor. If you notice a bug in a sensor report, or an undefined value, please select the "File" menu and choose "Save" to generate a complete report as a text file.

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.
