Historical
Resource Monitoring

AppControl is a historical Task Manager for Windows PCs that lets you scroll back through days of detailed system activity. See exactly what spiked your CPU, used up RAM, or maxed out your GPU over long time periods. AppControl also shows you which apps accessed your webcam, microphone, location, and much more including hidden app installs you might have missed.

CPU & GPU
Temperature History

Are you worried your PC is running a bit hot? AppControl keeps track of your PC's CPU/GPU temperature historically. If you find your PC is overheating you can go back in time and see what app was using the most hardware resources at the time.

Enforce Real Control Over Your Apps

Do much more than just "End Task". AppControl lets you permanently disable problem apps, block entire app publishers with a click, and build custom rules to stay in control.

Custom Alerts

New App? Hold On.

AppControl gives you real-time alerts when new or unusual apps start running.

Privacy Access Alerts

Youll get alerts when apps access your webcam, mic, or location, with options to block or investigate.

Whats That App?
AppControl Knows.

AppControl tells you what every app, process, and executable is with plain-language descriptions. You can skip the web search because AppControl gives you the answer right in the app.

What apps have accessed my microphone or webcam over the past few days, and did anything access them at unusual times?

Good news! Nothing has accessed your microphone or webcam in the monitored period not during active use, not while idle. If you'd like, I can also check for any other suspicious activity like new unknown binaries, blocked processes, or threat detections during this same window.

My PC has been louder than usual lately; has it been overheating, and what was running when it got hot?

The fan noise you're hearing is almost entirely Windows Update which ran two heavy installation cycles over the past few days, including a significant overnight session that updated WinRE and created restore points. None of this is suspicious it's all signed Microsoft and system processes behaving exactly as expected.

Talk to Your Task Manager

Its off by default, but AppControls optional, open-source MCP extension lets you connect the AI agent or IDE of your choice like Claude, Cursor, Gemini, OpenAI or Windsurf to your system's data. This extension provides your AI with a secure link to the historical resource usage and system activity gathered by the AppControl Windows app. Instead of digging through logs, you can simply ask about your PC's activity in plain English.

Just drop the free AppControl MCP extension into Claude, Cursor, or your preferred tool and start getting answers from the worlds best AI-powered historical resource monitor.

Built for Privacy

Unfortunately, some apps today dont respect your privacy. They check your location, run hidden background tasks, and use your system resources for their own purposes. AppControl reveals these hidden behaviors and gives you control to stop them.

Why is AppControl Free?

We built AppControl as a tool we wanted for ourselves to protect our resource usage, security, and privacy. If others enjoy AppControl we plan to offer optional premium features someday in the future.

About AppControl

Led by Jon Hundley, the AppControl team got tired of using Windows Task Manager, so they built a powered up version with history, more powerful controls, event monitoring, and alerts. Chat with the AppControl team on the AppControl Discord, the AppControl Forum, or email them!
