Windows hardware monitoring dashboards

This cluster consists of Windows desktop applications that monitor CPU, GPU, and memory telemetry such as temperatures, usage, clock speeds, and power draw. The dated history is sparse: single entries in 2015, 2019, and 2025, followed by two entries in 2026 (May and July), too thin to read a clear shape. Traction is led by Win11-Widgets and TaskManagerPlus (2 stars each), ahead of coolercast (1 star).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 19 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
