PinStats is a lightweight Windows 10/11 app that shows real-time PC resource usage: CPU, GPU, memory, network, storage, and battery. Plenty of apps paint a percentage onto a tray icon, but PinStats is one of the only apps that can pin a live usage widget directly into the Windows 11 taskbar. Alongside that widget it also offers a live-number tray icon, a compact popup, and a borderless fullscreen hardware-monitor dashboard for any monitor.
The Windows 11 taskbar widget keeps a compact strip of usage rings and speed readouts always visible. The tray icon renders the current CPU or GPU usage number every 0.25 seconds. A left-click opens a compact popup, a right-click sends a fullscreen dashboard to the monitor of your choice.
- Windows 11 taskbar widget. A compact strip of usage rings and speed readouts pinned straight into the Windows 11 taskbar, a capability almost no other system monitor offers. Toggle each of the eight items on or off individually.
- Live tray icon. The current CPU or GPU usage number is drawn directly onto the system-tray icon every 0.25 seconds, so your system's state is visible without opening anything.
- Four display surfaces. System-tray icon, quick popup, fullscreen hardware-monitor dashboard, and a Windows 11 taskbar widget.
- Comprehensive telemetry. CPU, GPU, memory (physical + virtual), network, storage, and battery (with health). Reports usage, temperatures, and power draw, plus the motherboard name.
- Multi-GPU and multi-monitor. Choose which GPU to monitor when more than one is present, and open the fullscreen dashboard on any connected monitor.
- 30-second live charts. The popup and the dashboard show a rolling 30-second CPU/GPU line chart.
- Automatic update checks. Shows a toast notification when a new version is available.
- System startup. Optional auto-start at login.
- Localized. English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
Plenty of apps can paint a percentage onto a tray icon. PinStats goes further by pinning a live usage widget directly into the Windows 11 taskbar, something almost no other system monitor does. The widget stays visible while you work, so you see CPU, GPU, memory, network, and storage at a glance without opening anything. A compact popup and a borderless fullscreen dashboard for any monitor are also available.
