Aikonic Clarity

Aikonic Clarity is a free hardware monitor for Windows that shows live sensor readings for the CPU, GPU, memory, storage, network and fans on a single screen. It uses its own Microsoft-attested, read-only kernel driver to read values such as CPU die temperature, package power, voltages and clock speeds on Intel and AMD desktops and laptops, and it only displays values that the sensors actually report.

Beyond live monitoring, Clarity includes a process list with end-task and priority controls, S.M.A.R.T. drive health, battery health, a dead-pixel test, CPU boost and memory-speed checks, a rolling one-hour in-memory history and an exportable verification report. It can run from the system tray or in a compact Mini Mode, and offers light and dark themes and a command palette.

The app works without an account, analytics or telemetry; it only goes online to check for updates and handle license activation. A paid one-time upgrade, Aikonic Control, is planned and adds insights, tuning, continuous history, fan control and alerts.
