Taskbar Stats

Ever wish you could check your computer's performance without constantly alt tabbing to the Task Manager? Taskbar Stats is here to make that happen. It’s a lightweight, third party app for Windows that puts real time system stats right on your taskbar no extra windows, no clutter, just the numbers you need, always in view.

The app gives you four live counters to choose from. The first two, NetSpeedBit and NetSpeed, track your network activity perfect for checking if your Zoom call is eating all your bandwidth. Then there’s CpuRam, which shows both CPU load and RAM usage in GB, so you know exactly when your PC is starting to sweat. And if you’re moving files or running heavy apps, the DiskSpeed counter shows your drive’s read and write speeds in real time. All these stats update on the fly, so you’re always looking at current data.

Setting it up is simple: after installing, you just add Taskbar Stats as a toolbar to your taskbar. It might take a refresh or two for everything to show up properly. One thing to note the app isn’t big on customization. You can’t change how it looks, and it works best with dark themed taskbars. If you’re using a light theme, the text might be hard to read.

All in all, Taskbar Stats is a no fuss way to keep an eye on what your computer is doing. It’s great for gamers, streamers, or anyone who wants to monitor system performance without interrupting their workflow. Just don’t expect to tweak its appearance it’s function over form, and it does that job well.
