| Hi all, I’ve built a small Windows utility called *System Information Dashboard* and I’d love some feedback. It’s a portable system info tool that shows at a glance:
- CPU usage
- RAM usage
- Disk usage
- OS version and build
- System uptime
- Basic device/system details A few design choices:
- *Portable*: just an EXE, no installer, no registry changes.
- *No network calls / telemetry*: it doesn’t phone home, no tracking, no ads.
- *Lightweight*: written in AutoIt, meant to be quick to open, check info, and close.
- *Optional sensors*: for temperatures/sensors it can open LibreHardwareMonitor as an external app instead of reinventing that wheel. Motivation:
I work as an IT technician and I wanted a small dashboard I can quickly run on a client machine to see the basics without installing heavyweight suites like AIDA64/HWInfo or digging through multiple Windows panels. Links:
- Download / info page: https://www.gexos.org/system-information-dashboard-lightweig...
- GitHub (code, README, changelog): https://github.com/Gexos/System-Info-Dashboard I’m mainly looking for feedback on:
- UI/UX (too simple? missing obvious info?)
- Any red flags in how I’m gathering system info
- Features you’d expect from a minimal sysinfo tool that I may be missing Happy to answer questions and hear criticism. If you spot bugs or weird behaviour on your setup, please let me know your Windows version and hardware. |
1: When I drag the window, it freezes in place until a few seconds later, or when I release the mouse and drag it again.
2: I have three hard drives, and the text containing line breaks is collapsed when displayed.
I created a screenshot GIF and uploaded it to a GitHub Issue, please check it out.
