Minimum, maximum and average cover the readings taken since 14:20, while Aikonic's window or Mini mode was open. Kept in memory only, they start again when Aikonic restarts or its metric history is cleared in Settings.

CPU boost residency
Loads every core for about 30 seconds and reads the clock your CPU sustains under load, plus the peak it reaches. Compute-only: nothing is written. Residency against the chip’s rated turbo ceiling arrives in a later update.

Memory running at spec
Reads what the board reports about each memory module and checks the three things that quietly cost you memory performance: running speed vs the kit’s rating, multi-channel interleave, and a matched kit. A reading, not a benchmark.
Running at spec: 32 GB DDR4-3200
Rated speedConfigured 3200 of the 3200 MT/s marked on the part number

Storage SMART health
Reads each drive’s own SMART / NVMe health (wear, power-on hours, and reallocated sectors) and tells you whether to back up. Read-only; nothing is written to any drive.

Battery health
Compares the current full-charge capacity against the battery’s design capacity: how much of the original capacity is left. A desktop with no battery is reported as such, not an error.

Settings
Refresh rate
How often Aikonic asks the sensor service for its latest reading. The service takes its readings once a second on its own clock; slower settings are lighter on the CPU.
1 sEvery reading as it lands
2 sBalanced (default)
5 sBattery-saver / background
At 1 s, Aikonic asks for the latest reading about 60 times a minute, roughly 3,600 across the one-hour live view. The sensor service takes its readings once a second on its own clock; asking more often shows a new reading sooner, asking less often is lighter on the CPU. A reading is only ever recorded once, however often it is asked for.
Your choice applies immediately and is remembered across launches.
Appearance
Theme, Mini Mode, the accent colour, and whether Aikonic remembers your GPU adapter choice.
LightWarm paper
DarkWarm charcoal
SystemFollows Windows
Mini Mode
Open a small always-on-top companion window with live metrics; it sits on a second monitor while the dashboard runs here.
Close button hides to tray
Closing the window keeps Aikonic running in the tray by the clock, with live readings a hover away; quit from the tray menu. Off makes the close button quit outright.
Temperatures in the tray
Shows CPU and GPU temperature as their own icons beside the Aikonic mark, tinted amber or red when a reading is elevated. A reading that is unavailable shows a dash rather than a number.
Remember GPU adapter selection
Keep the dGPU/iGPU toggle position across launches. Off keeps it per-session.
Accent recolours the accent only; status colours are reserved. Pick a preset, paste a hex code, or leave it on the default ember.

Control · one-time purchase

History, tuning and alerts.

Control remembers 30 days. Clarity remembers the last hour. Both tiers follow the same measurement principles and the same requirements.

Features

What it adds.

  • Tuning. Every adjustment is remembered, verified against what the machine reports back, and reversible. The Tuning page opens: the Windows power mode switch, Game Mode and display refresh rate. Startup apps switch on and off from the System page. Each change is recorded in the Reversibility Ledger with its before and after and a working revert. Fan control follows on the same terms, when its safety conditions hold; see the roadmap.
  • History. 24-hour, 7-day and 30-day views on disk, downsampled, with a per-metric drawer. A fresh install fills from day one, and each view says how far back the record actually reaches.
  • Insights. Ranked findings with their evidence attached: “Memory has sat above 85% for most of the afternoon, and the page file grew by 1.2 GB.”
  • Event timeline & weekly digest. See what changed, when, and what co-occurred with it.
  • Alerts. Threshold-plus-duration rules with OS notifications, and a contextual action on the alert that targets the heaviest contributing process. Ending a task and changing priority are free in Clarity.
