Pulsetray puts small live meters next to the clock: CPU, memory, network, disk, GPU or battery. Hover a meter for a quick summary, or click it for graphs of the last minute, 10 minutes or hour, the details for that category and the apps using the most.

It reads the same Windows counters Task Manager uses and keeps its history in memory. Your stats never leave your PC.

What it does

  • Tray meters

    Show one to four meters as a mini bar, a mini graph, a number, or up and down speeds. Each meter is its own tray icon, so you can keep the ones you want visible.

  • Detail flyout

    Click a meter for 1 minute, 10 minute and 1 hour graphs. History keeps building while the flyout is closed, so the graphs are full when you open it.

  • Top apps

    See which apps use the most CPU or memory, grouped by program. Open the file location, or end a task after a confirmation.

  • Every GPU

    Utilization and dedicated and shared memory for each graphics card, with integrated and discrete cards labelled.

  • Alerts

    Get a notification when the processor or memory stays busy, a drive runs low on space, or the battery runs down. Snooze an alert for an hour or a day.

  • Easy on battery

    While Windows battery saver is on, Pulsetray updates less often. After sleep, graphs show a short gap instead of a false spike.

  • Stays on your PC

    No telemetry. Pulsetray reads Windows' own counters and keeps the last hour of history in memory only.
