What XStat is

XStat is a free hardware monitoring app for Windows 10 and 11, with an Android companion and browser access for devices on the same local network. It reads more than 291 sensor channels across CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, motherboard, and network hardware. Its dashboard organizes readings by hardware category and includes live history graphs and per-core load data. Users can build sensor panels by arranging and styling widgets, binding them to sensors, and importing or exporting layouts as JSON. Available widgets include readings, bars, sparklines, gauges, clocks, text, images, and custom HTML. A built-in Monaco editor supports custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript widgets, with live preview and sensor data passed through postMessage. The Windows service can serve panels as browser pages on the local network; the Android app discovers the PC over UDP and displays a panel in a full-screen WebView. XStat uses LibreHardwareMonitor for sensor readings and SignalR WebSockets for live updates. The maker says it runs without cloud services or telemetry. The project is MIT-licensed. Its service has no authentication, and its documentation advises limiting access to a trusted local network.
