- Download the latest
LocalTelemetrySetup.exefrom GitHub Releases. - Run the installer and follow the quick setup wizard.
- LocalTelemetry will launch automatically after installation.
First launch note: the very first run asks for Administrator rights once (single UAC prompt), then installs the PawnIo hardware driver silently in the background - the tray icon and overlay can take a few seconds to appear. Subsequent launches start instantly.
- Download
LocalTelemetry-win-x64.zipfrom GitHub Releases. - Extract the folder to any location on your PC.
- Run
LocalTelemetry.exe.
Every release ships with a checksums.txt and SLSA build attestations. You can verify your download before running it:
# 1. Compare the SHA-256 hashes against checksums.txt
Get-FileHash .\LocalTelemetrySetup.exe, .\LocalTelemetry-win-x64.zip -Algorithm SHA256
# 2. Verify the SLSA attestation (proves the file was built by the release workflow)
gh attestation verify .\LocalTelemetrySetup.exe --repo Nicconike/LocalTelemetry
gh attestation verify .\LocalTelemetry-win-x64.zip --repo Nicconike/LocalTelemetryThe attestation confirms the binary was produced by the official Release workflow and has not been tampered with.
After launch, LocalTelemetry docks a live telemetry widget directly into your Windows taskbar:
Right-click the LocalTelemetry icon in the system tray (near the clock) to control the app:
- Show / Hide Taskbar Overlay: Toggle the overlay instantly.
- Open Settings: Launch the settings panel.
- Quit: Exit LocalTelemetry.
Double-click the tray icon to open the dark-mode settings panel:
General - autostart with Windows, launch minimized, polling interval and temperature units:
Taskbar Layout - reorder metrics by drag-and-drop to control exactly what appears in the overlay:
Monitoring - toggle individual hardware components and enable metrics logging:
Traffic & Network History - daily bandwidth calendar with per-interface breakdown:
Set per-metric warning limits - e.g. CPU at 90°C or GPU at 88°C. When a threshold is crossed, the metric flashes on the overlay and a desktop toast notification pops up without stealing focus:
