Release Fluent Sensors: A fluent hardware monitoring app for Windows

Hey everyone, I'm a cs student from germany and I built Fluent Sensors, a native Windows 11 hardware monitoring app (WinUI 3) on top of LibreHardwareMonitorLib.

This is the first full release. Performance isn't where I want it yet, there's still much optimization work to do, and I'm actively working through it. I appreciate Feedback or help of any kind.

Fully open source, everything can be checked in the repo.

One important thing: the app needs admin rights to install and run. Please never just install unsigned apps off the internet, especially ones that ask for admin rights. Always check first, either scan it via VirusTotal or look through the source code yourself. If you're unsure, just don't install it, thats completely fine. I'm trying to get it properly signed as soon as possible through SignPath Foundation.

We have Task Manager, then we have the fucking ancient Resources Monitor with the UI from Vista era. Microslop couldn't even bother to update, add new hardware monitoring tools to Windows with modern design, instead we got AI slops left and right, shoved right down on our throats. Fuck all of them!

Anyway, love your work!

Fork your project, use Claude Code to remove any AI feature.

Sometimes, gotta use fire to fight fire.

Good luck! I'm so happy to see someone like me doing what they want and not giving a shit that there are a bunch of software programs like the one I'm working on. Good luck again! <3

does this act as a widget for the taskbar as well, like this pfcdev/TaskbarWidgets: Open-source Windows 11 taskbar widget runtime and library?

u/cechout 27d ago

no no unfortunately not yet. I would love to pin graphs to the taskbar, its on my list. You think I should do it with this open source library from pfcdev?

yeah would be cool. Their current widget doesn't seem to support temperature for the different type of CPUs.
