Why Upgrade from Standard Task Manager?

While the default Windows Task Manager shows real-time resource utilization, it lacks context. If your computer overheated or froze while you were away, you're left guessing what caused it.

AppControl solves this by continuously tracking system health and process activity in the background:

• Temperature History: Track CPU & GPU thermal trends to diagnose overheating issues.
• Custom Rules & Automated Actions: Automatically block unsigned or unwanted background processes.
• AI Integration: Built-in Claude / MCP integration for AI-powered diagnostics.

💡 "AppControl shows you everything your computer is secretly doing, giving you total peace of mind over performance, privacy, and security."
