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

Micro Guard makes sure that no hacker or spycam listens to you. With just one single click, the integrated microphone of your Android device will be completely protected. With just one click, the protection is active, and Micro Guard blocks and observes all apps and processes that try to access your smartphone's microphone. Every attempted security breach will be reported. To maintain usability, choose which apps on your devices can access the microphone to take calls and record with ease and privacy orientated. With the Deep Detective, we have created an intelligent and versatile detective that observes all accesses. Deep Detective permanently controls which process or program currently attempts to access the microphone. Additionally, it reports known, and thanks to modern heuristic methods, also unknown attack attempts. We developed the app Camera Guard to block and protect your camera easily.

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.
