Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Lives on your desktop

Always-on-top, always visible, never in the way. pcGauge widget windows float above your desktop without appearing in the taskbar or Alt+Tab switcher.

Works in minutes

Install from the Microsoft Store and your widgets appear immediately. No config files, no drivers, no learning curve — just real-time data on your desktop.

Build your own layout

Add only the metrics you care about and arrange them exactly how you want. Mix and match CPU, GPU, memory, network and disk tiles into any number of custom widgets.

See trends, not just numbers

Sparkline history charts and usage bars give you visual context at a glance. Spot a CPU spike or a memory leak without opening Task Manager.

Always visible, never intrusive

Click-through mode lets mouse clicks pass straight through the widgets to whatever is behind them. Widgets stay on screen without ever getting in your way.

Everything in one place

Monitor CPU usage and clock speed, GPU load and VRAM, RAM consumption, network download and upload speeds, and disk read/write activity — all on your desktop at once.

Why switch

Stop wasting time on complicated monitoring tools.

Get the key stats you care about in a clean, simple layout — no setup hassle.
