A tool to monitor your computer's sensor data with real-time plotting and logging.

Select only the devices you care about. Filter out the rest.

Log all of your data locally for analysis or future reference.

Display the data you want with an always-on-top overlay for seamless multi-tasking.

• Powered by PyOverlayKit, which was created specifically for HWInsight.

See your device sensor information in real time - with graphs.

HWInsight is based on the following technologies:

• C# - Used for the core subprocess logic and backend functionality.
• Python - Used for data processing and managing the GUI with PySide6.
• PySide6 - A set of Python bindings for Qt, used for building the GUI.
• LibreHardwareMonitor - A C# library to monitor hardware sensors and system information.

Compatibility Information:

1. Download the relevant release.
2. Unzip the file into a single folder and run run.bat as Administrator.

⚠️ Note: Running as Administrator is required to access CPU temperature and some other sensor data.
