AppControl

AppControl’s temperature bar for CPU/GPU may now be more colorful due to us optimizing it so it’s easier to notice temperature change ranges. The memory screen now shows a new visual representation bar of your total memory usage. Click your mouse center scroll wheel to instantly close any AppControl notifications. AppControl has colored triangles to show if a process is actively running, and outlined triangles if it is not. You can now mouse over the triangle to understand what it means, along with showing the last time a process ran on your PC. Our optional MCP server has been updated to work with this improved AppControl Windows version. When viewing details about an executable in AppControl’s drawer, Windows System Properties are only one click away. Click “system properties” in the executable details drawer in AppControl to open the full Windows properties view. Get alerted if any application accesses your AppControl MCP server, if you chose to turn that MCP server feature on. AppControl now supports displaying Windows Services. AppControl now has an improved method of detecting updated executables that should work more reliably. You may suddenly receive a large number of new executable events immediately after installing this update, due to this change, then things will go back to normal.

Range Select on Graphs — Tired of squinting at a single spike in your CPU history? Now you can click and drag on any timeline graph to zoom into exactly the timeframe you care about. Perfect for isolating what happened during that mysterious CPU spike at 2 AM while your PC was idle. Command Line Tool — Type appcontrol in Windows Terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt to get a live, pauseable view of what’s running right now — think top or htop for Windows. Includes a real-time process log that shows every app starting and stopping, great for remote work or just staying in the terminal. Automatic Theme — A new theme option that automatically matches your Windows settings, so AppControl feels right whether you prefer light or dark mode. New Languages — German, Spanish, and Japanese localization so more people can use AppControl in their native language. System Process Clarity — We’ve improved how AppControl describes tricky Windows internals like vmmem, vmmemWSL, Registry activity, and other system processes so they’re more understandable. Publisher Verification Improvements — Better detection and clearer labeling of digitally signed vs. unsigned apps.
