Aurora watches your PC every second (temperatures, fan speeds, clock speeds, loads and power) and tells you in plain words whether everything is fine, and what to look at when it isn't.
- Health tab that sums up the processor, graphics card, memory, drives and fans in plain language
- In-game overlay with FPS, 1% lows, temperatures and loads, and what limits your frame rate (GPU, CPU or frame cap)
- Fan modes, a cooling test that spots dust build-up over time, and a day-by-day log of changes made to the PC with their measured effect
- Storage tools: byte-for-byte duplicate finder, what takes up space, games not played in months; deletions go to the Recycle Bin
- Windows tab: update advisor and settings that can be restored in one click
- Five themes, French and English interface, optional Stream Deck plugin (separate download)
Aurora is free, with no ads, no account and no telemetry. Optional cosmetic skins are sold separately on auroraapp.ca; every feature stays free.
