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

Kuku is a native macOS note-taking and knowledge management app that combines a lightweight Markdown editor with modern AI-driven tools while keeping your files as plain .md on your disk so they remain accessible by editors like vim, versionable with git, and free from cloud vendor lock-in. It supports bidirectional links with autocompletion and backlinks panels that help you interconnect ideas, plus a graph view for visualizing relationships between notes. It includes an AI agent powered by Gemini with a tool that can search your local vault, read files, generate summaries, and create or edit documents with cursor-style edit previews that show suggested changes as diffs before you accept or reject them. Kuku also offers local Whisper speech-to-text for offline audio transcription, fast full-text search using SQLite FTS5 with BM25 ranking, and a native performance footprint built on Tauri that results in a small installation and low memory usage without Electron overhead.

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.
