TinyResMeter

TinyResMeter is a small and portable app which displays useful information on your computer's resources. It can be easily figured out.

Since TinyResMeter does not include a setup pack, all you have to do is extract the files to any location on the hard drive and directly run the executable file.

Plus, it is possible to save TinyResMeter on a USB flash drive and directly access its features. More importantly, no leftover files can be found on the hard drive or in the Windows Registry after removing the tool. Also, you can carry the app in your pocket whenever you're on the go.

The interface of the program is based on a small frame which is placed on the lower right corner of the screen. You can check out the current time and date, CPU level and speed, memory usage for the currently active processes, used RAM, page files and swap file, along with the occupied size of your local volumes.

However, TinyResMeter's functionality doesn't stop here. By accessing the context menu of the system tray icon, you can handle a process and service manager, view a list of active windows in a drop-down menu, along with used DLL modules and open files, check out recently terminated processes, run stopwatches and open common directories. But you may also freeze the counters, as well as open and edit the INI file.

From the Settings area, you can make TinyResMeter automatically run at system startup and to use Fahnreinheit degrees instead of Celsius, select the transparency level, change colors (for the text, border, gauge and background), add more fields to the main application window and customize them (e.g. hostname, uptime, sections, focus, battery status, debug), just to name a few.

The app requires a very low quantity of system resources, has a good response time and worked smoothly during our tests, without hanging, crashing or popping up errors; we have not come across any issues. Although TinyResMeter is simple to configure, its rich features are mainly oriented toward advanced users who want to find out technical information about their system's status.
