Your system resources, right in the taskbar.
TaskbarInfo shows CPU, memory, disk and network load in real time — without opening a single window. A tiny icon that lives in the Windows notification area and warns you at a glance when a resource is maxing out.
Windows 10 & 11 (64-bit) · no .NET runtime required · ad-free.
Keep an eye on your machine without thinking about it
Task Manager answers the question "why is my PC slow?" — but only when you open it. TaskbarInfo makes that information permanent and unobtrusive: the gauge is always there, tiny, and turns red as soon as a resource comes under pressure. You see the problem coming before it slows you down.
Light, clear, and built for Windows
- ✓ Negligible resource use. The icon is only redrawn when the display actually changes — the CPU stays idle.
- ✓ No windows at all. Everything fits in an icon and its tooltip; nothing clutters your desktop.
- ✓ Sharp at any resolution. The icon is drawn crisply for your display scale (100%, 125%, 150%, 200%).
- ✓ Adjustable colour thresholds. You decide at what percentage the gauge turns amber and then red.
- ✓ Automatic updates. The application keeps itself up to date, silently.
- ✓ Free and ad-free. No account, no tracking.
