## Description

AppControl is a Windows system-monitoring and management tool designed to provide a more detailed, longer-term view of PC activity than the standard Task Manager. It tracks CPU, memory, disk, GPU, and temperature usage over time, letting users review past activity and identify which apps were consuming resources or contributing to overheating. The software also reports when applications access sensitive features such as the webcam, microphone, or location, and can alert users when new or unusual apps start running.

Beyond monitoring, AppControl offers controls for managing troublesome software, including permanently disabling apps, blocking publishers, and creating custom rules. It provides plain-language descriptions of processes and executables to help users understand what is running without searching the web. Additional options include customizable alert behavior, a command-line tool, and the ability to connect Claude and other AI tools through MCP. AppControl is available for Windows, with a changelog, security and privacy information, support resources, and a community forum provided on its website.
