Remote System Monitor is a free app developed by Trigone that allows you to view your Windows PC’s hardware and system information like the temperature of processors, GPU, etc. on your Android device. The app is pretty useful in situations when you have kept your system running and you want to know the information about your Windows PC like its core temperature, etc. remotely. The app is a perfect Windows PC monitoring app. To set up this app, you need a server client running on your PC that basically fetches all your Windows PC information and broadcasts it over to your Android device, and you also need the app to receive the information on your Android device. So let us delve deeper into the basics of how to set up this app for use with your Android device.
