PC Monitor 0.1.0 — Experimental Alpha

A Windows 11 x64 PC monitor with a native desktop application and remote access through your own Tailscale network. One backend. One shared desktop/mobile frontend.

Download

Download PCMonitorSetup.exe under Assets below. The Node runtime is bundled; no separate Node/npm installation is needed. Local desktop use works without Tailscale. Install Tailscale separately on both devices for remote access.

Fresh installs generate your own PIN/configuration. Startup at Windows sign-in is enabled by default and can be disabled during install. The installer does not include developer credentials, private Tailscale addresses, runtime state or personal project Markdown documents.

Included

  • Compact Overview, focused graphs, CPU/RAM/storage/network monitoring and NVIDIA telemetry where supported.
  • Processes with stable selection, Freeze/Resume and identity-safe End Task.
  • Allowlisted Maintenance & Repair with logs/results, Diagnostics and copyable compatibility reports.
  • Native desktop/tray, local Setup/PIN Recovery, optional CPU temperature support and settings-preserving upgrade/uninstall.
  • Demand-driven telemetry: no active client lease means no continuous sampling.

Before trying it

This is an experimental alpha, not a production-ready release. The installer is unsigned; Windows may display SmartScreen or unknown-publisher warnings. Optional sensors/tools depend on hardware and permissions. Enhanced CPU temperature uses the approved provider and optional signed PawnIO package, which can require UAC. You can skip it and use PC Monitor without CPU temperature.

Keep the server restricted to localhost/Tailscale; do not port-forward it. Authenticated maintenance and End Task can modify the PC. End Task targets one verified process identity, not a process tree or a respawned process.

Broader clean-machine, physical mobile, real Windows sign-in and optional driver/UAC/reboot validation remains outstanding.

Verified artifact

All eight regression suites and guarded isolated Windows installation, upgrade, uninstall and reinstall checks passed for this build. Dist/publish bytes, build inputs and payload/source hashes were checked. This is local isolated testing, not a claim of clean-VM or physical-iPhone validation.
