PyMonitor is a Windows system hardware and resource monitor with a simple graphical interface. It gathers and displays information about your CPU, memory, disks, GPU, motherboard, battery, and network interfaces. This tool is useful for getting a quick overview of your machine’s health and specs, especially if you need more detail than Task Manager provides.
- Displays system info: OS, hostname, user, and boot time
- Shows CPU stats, including per-core usage, temperature, and frequencies
- Reports memory and swap usage
- Lists disk sizes and free space (via WMI for best Windows compatibility)
- Reveals network interface addresses
- Shows battery status if present
- Reads GPU temperature and (for NVIDIA cards) fan speed
- Includes motherboard info (manufacturer, product, serial)
- All info is presented in a scrollable, refreshable GUI
- Python 3.7 or newer (tested on Windows)
- See
requirements.txt, which includes:psutilwmipynvmlWinTmp(custom module, see below)tk(Tkinter is included with most Python distributions, but may requirepython3-tkon Linux)
Install dependencies with:
pip install -r requirements.txt- Make sure you have all dependencies installed.
- Run as administrator for full hardware readings (especially temperatures and fan speeds).
- Execute the script:
python gui_monitor.pyThe main window will show all collected stats. Click Refresh to update the display.
- WinTmp: This is a custom or third-party module used for temperature readings. If you don’t have it, you may need to write or obtain a replacement. The rest of the tool works without it, but CPU and GPU temperatures won't show.
- GPU Info: NVIDIA GPU data requires
pynvmland a compatible driver. Other GPUs will only show basic info. - Motherboard Info: Uses WMI, so only the basics are shown. Some fields may be missing depending on your hardware.
