What XStat is

XStat monitors live hardware data and lets users build custom sensor panels for a desktop and other devices on the local network. It reads more than 291 sensor channels across CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, motherboard, and network data. Its dashboard groups readings by hardware category and includes history graphs and per-core load data. Users can arrange, resize, layer, and style widgets, bind them to sensors, and import or export layouts as JSON. Widget choices include sensor values, 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 via postMessage. Devices on the same network can open panels in a browser; an Android companion discovers the PC over UDP and displays the panel in a full-screen WebView. XStat is free and uses LibreHardwareMonitor for sensor data and SignalR WebSockets for updates. The maker says it has no telemetry and runs without cloud services. Its service has no authentication and should be exposed only on a trusted local network. The desktop app requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and administrator privileges for sensor access.

Who it suits

XStat suits Windows users who want to monitor hardware readings or create custom panels viewable from Android and browsers on their local network. It is not suited to exposure on an untrusted network, because its service has no authentication.
