Cross-platform CPU & GPU hardware monitor
HardwareVisualizer is a cross-platform hardware monitor for CPU, GPU, temperature, and process activity. Review what happened after gaming or heavy workloads—even when you were not watching the live graphs.
For Windows 10 and 11. Also available on macOS and Linux.
You do not have to watch a live graph while you play, render, compile, or run another demanding task. Open Insights afterward to see when load peaked, temperatures rose, or a process used more resources. History is kept for 30 days by default, and retention is configurable.
See when CPU or GPU load peaked and how long demanding activity continued.
Follow temperature changes over time and see how they relate to CPU or GPU load.
Review sampled process activity to see which applications used CPU or memory.
Return to an earlier period and compare the same CPU, GPU, and temperature metrics with what you see now.
Use real-time CPU, GPU, temperature, and memory details when you need to inspect what your PC is doing right now.
Track CPU usage, temperature, and frequency in real-time with detailed per-core statistics.
View GPU utilization, temperature, memory usage, and clock speeds for supported graphics cards.
Monitor RAM usage, available memory, and memory allocation across applications.
Look up CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and operating system details in one place.
Built with Tauri for minimal resource usage, ensuring the monitor itself doesn't impact system performance.
Built in the open for Windows, macOS, and Linux under the MIT license.
Keep the real-time dashboard readable your way with adjustable charts, colors, and a local background image.
Line charts show current CPU, RAM, and GPU usage at a glance.
Tweak colors, borders, and legends with flexible visual settings.
Make your dashboard truly yours with a background image you love.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux OS. Free and open source.

Common questions about HardwareVisualizer and hardware monitoring.
HardwareVisualizer is a free, open-source, cross-platform hardware monitoring tool. It lets you track CPU temperature, GPU usage, memory allocation, and system performance in real-time with beautiful graphs and minimal system impact.
HardwareVisualizer is designed to be lightweight with a modern UI. Unlike Task Manager, it provides detailed graphs and configurable long-term history, kept for 30 days by default and extendable in settings. Its always-on monitoring is optimized to minimize background CPU and memory use — when minimized to the system tray it uses only around 32 MB of memory — and the interface stays fully customizable.
Yes! HardwareVisualizer runs in the background with minimal resource usage, making it perfect for monitoring CPU usage and memory during gaming sessions. GPU temperature monitoring is fully supported on NVIDIA GPUs, with partial support for AMD and Intel GPUs. You can also check historical data to see how your system performed.
