Show HN: Sid– tiny portable system info tool for Windows.
gexos Wednesday, December 03, 2025Hi all,
I’ve built a small Windows utility called *System Information Dashboard* and I’d love some feedback.
It’s a portable system info tool that shows at a glance: - CPU usage - RAM usage - Disk usage - OS version and build - System uptime - Basic device/system details
A few design choices: - *Portable*: just an EXE, no installer, no registry changes. - *No network calls / telemetry*: it doesn’t phone home, no tracking, no ads. - *Lightweight*: written in AutoIt, meant to be quick to open, check info, and close. - *Optional sensors*: for temperatures/sensors it can open LibreHardwareMonitor as an external app instead of reinventing that wheel.
Motivation: I work as an IT technician and I wanted a small dashboard I can quickly run on a client machine to see the basics without installing heavyweight suites like AIDA64/HWInfo or digging through multiple Windows panels.

I’m mainly looking for feedback on: - UI/UX (too simple? missing obvious info?) - Any red flags in how I’m gathering system info - Features you’d expect from a minimal sysinfo tool that I may be missing
Happy to answer questions and hear criticism. If you spot bugs or weird behaviour on your setup, please let me know your Windows version and hardware.
