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.

Yes, HardwareVisualizer is completely free and open-source under the MIT license. You can download it from our website or GitHub, and even contribute to the project.

HardwareVisualizer supports Windows 10, Windows 11, and major Linux distributions (Debian/Ubuntu, RPM-based distros, AppImage). macOS support is experimental and under development.

HardwareVisualizer is designed to be lightweight with a modern UI. Unlike Task Manager, it provides detailed graphs and 30-day historical data. Compared to HWiNFO, it uses fewer system resources thanks to its Tauri/Rust architecture while offering a customizable interface.

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 currently available for NVIDIA GPUs only. You can also check historical data to see how your system performed.

HardwareVisualizer supports NVIDIA GPUs with full functionality. Support for AMD and Intel GPUs is currently under development.

Absolutely! You can request new hardware support, themes, languages, and other features by creating an issue on GitHub. Contributions are always welcome — feel free to submit pull requests or join the discussions.
