Yes, completely. PulseMonitor is free to download and use forever — no trial period, no premium tier, no subscription. You can support development on Ko-fi if you'd like, but it's entirely optional.
Yes. PulseMonitor runs on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). It's tested on both and keeps up with the latest Windows updates.
No. PulseMonitor is fully portable — just download the .exe and run it. No installer, no admin rights, no Python or runtime dependencies. It even runs off a USB drive.
Around 50 MB, which is well under what most system monitors use. It's deliberately lightweight so it doesn't eat into the memory it's supposed to be monitoring.
PulseMonitor is safe. Because it's a portable .exe built with PyInstaller, some antivirus tools may raise a false positive — this is a known quirk with Python-packaged apps, not a sign of anything malicious. The full source code is on GitHub for anyone to review.
PulseMonitor works with AMD Ryzen (all generations) and Intel Core CPUs (6th gen+), NVIDIA GeForce & RTX GPUs, AMD Radeon RX GPUs, DDR4 & DDR5 RAM, and NVMe, SSD & HDD storage. It runs on desktops, laptops, and workstations.
