Public Beta

TPL CORE

Keeps an eye on your PC's health, tracks how hard it's working, and — if you switch it on — puts idle time to work while you're away.

See it before you install it

Two and a half minutes through every screen — vitals, earning, game mode, and the service at 5,000 hours.

Windows will warn you — here's why

You'll see “Windows protected your PC”. That appears for any app from a publisher Microsoft hasn't seen enough times yet — we're a small Dublin company and our code-signing certificate is in progress. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Don't take our word for it. Check the file matches what we published:

What it does

Watches your hardware. Live temperatures, fan speeds, utilisation and drive space, with history so you can see what's normal for your machine.
Tracks service intervals. Counts powered-on hours so you know when your PC is genuinely due a clean and fresh thermal paste.
Earns while you're away — on by default. Mining runs in the background and is switched on when you install. It stops the moment you touch the keyboard, backs off before your graphics card gets hot, and there's a single switch in Settings to turn it off for good. Windows will ask your permission before any of it starts.

Before you switch earning on

Earning uses your graphics card, and that uses electricity you pay for. On Irish rates, and depending on your card, the electricity can cost more than the earnings are worth — a modern card does far better than an older one. It is on from the moment you install, so if that trade-off isn't for you, turn it off in Settings and everything else keeps working.

The app shows you exactly what your machine has earned and for how many hours, so you can judge it against your own bill. Health monitoring and service tracking use no meaningful power and work whether or not earning is ever enabled.

It's a beta

Things will change and some of it will be rough. The app updates itself, so you'll get fixes without downloading anything again. Uninstall from Windows Settings whenever you like — it removes itself cleanly.
