NANOMON — FAQ

How big is Nanomon?

45 KB on disk — a single EXE with zero install, no background services and no dependencies. Download it and run it.

What does it monitor?

CPU, memory, disk and network out of the box, plus GPU when an NVIDIA card is detected — live in a tiny always-on-top widget by your Windows taskbar.

How much does it cost?

$5, one time. That includes 2 machine activations and lifetime updates. Refunded on request, no questions.

Does Nanomon collect my data?

No personal data. The app sends an anonymous random install ID with its update check so we can count active installs — nothing else phones home, and card details never touch our servers.

Which Windows versions are supported?

Windows 10 and 11. Nanomon is a native Windows app — no runtime downloads, no launcher, no updater running in the background.
