Features
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
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 instant 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.
Customization
Start with the defaults.
Then make it yours.
pcGauge ships with up to five ready-to-go widgets — but you're not locked in. Add, remove, and reorder individual tiles freely. Create as many widgets as you want, put any combination of metrics in each one, and position them anywhere on your screen.
Your setup, exactly how you want it.
