Measurement integrity
A disclosed gap is evidence the other numbers are real.
Some values simply cannot be read on some boards. A tool that shows a number there is guessing. Aikonic's products render the gap — with the reason — because the empty state is the advertisement.
No tach signal
Nothing is connected to this header, or the fan doesn't report speed. Either way, there is no number to show — so none is shown.
verdict: unavailable · reason: no tachometer on IT8792E
Unavailable
The driver path the industry relied on for years is blocked on modern Windows. Most tools work around it quietly, or interpolate. We say it plainly — and ship our own signed driver in V1.1.2
verdict: unavailable · reason: kernel driver blocked by OS policy
No composite health score. Ever.
Your PC is not “87 / 100”. A single score compresses away exactly the information you came for. Aikonic's products show the measurements — and let them mean what they mean.
Measured, never interpolated.
Every value on screen was read from a sensor. Nothing is estimated, smoothed into existence, or carried forward from a stale read and presented as live.
Calibrated, not assumed.
Every reading is validated to ±1 °C / ±2 % against reference measurements from the same sensor register.1 Where we can't meet the bar, we show the gap instead.
Privacy
The complete list of network calls.
Most monitoring tools publish what they collect. We can publish what we send — because the whole list fits on this page. The full privacy policy is the authoritative version.
Licence validation
A first-launch activation and a periodic heartbeat, carrying a non-reversible install fingerprint derived on your device. The raw identifiers never leave your computer and cannot be recovered from the token. It is not linked to your name or an account — there is none.
Update check
An HTTPS request for a small version file from aikonic.app, carrying only the app version. Installing an update is always your decision.
What is never sent
No telemetry — not anonymised, not aggregated, not opt-in. No crash reports. No usage analytics. No behavioural identifiers. No third-party SDKs of any kind. Even the fonts ship inside the installer rather than loading from a CDN.
