WattSeal is an open source power consumption monitoring application. Find out exactly how much electricity your PC consumes by app, by component, in real time. Track your carbon footprint, cut your energy bill.
The app is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS) and compatible with most hardware vendors (Intel, AMD, NVIDIA...). Available in English & French, more languages coming soon.
WattSeal is a comprehensive tool designed for real-time monitoring of PC power consumption. The application offers an intuitive live dashboard that tracks power usage by both component and application, enabling users to identify the energy consumption patterns of their hardware and software in real-time. Users can observe which components — such as the CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage — are drawing the most power and which apps are the primary energy consumers, thus allowing for informed decisions on usage to optimize electricity costs and reduce carbon footprint.
Key Features
- Live Dashboard: Continuously updates power draw every second, providing immediate insights.
- Per-Component Breakdown: Analyze power usage by individual hardware components, including CPU, GPU, RAM, and more.
- Per-App Breakdown: Easily identify which applications are consuming the most energy, empowering better power management.
