About AppControl
AppControl is a Windows task manager that records system resource use over time. It tracks CPU, memory, disk, temperature, and GPU usage, and lets users scroll back through days of activity to see which apps were active during a spike or a period of high temperature. It also includes controls for managing apps: users can permanently disable problem apps, block entire app publishers, and create custom rules. Alerts notify users when new or unusual apps start, or when apps access the webcam, microphone, or location. The app gives plain-language descriptions of processes and executables. The homepage lists a Windows download (version 1.4.0.415, 20.2 MB). Pricing is not stated.
