Momo Monitor / User guide

Install & run

Extract the portable package, enable the readings you need, and launch your first session.

What you need

The standard portable release includes .NET. Only the optional framework-dependent developer build needs the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime.

Install the portable release

  1. Open Momo releases and download the Windows x64 portable package.
  2. Extract the whole ZIP to a writable local folder. Keep momo-data beside MomoMonitor.exe. Do not run the program from inside the ZIP.
  3. Double-click MomoMonitor.exe and allow the Windows administrator prompt if you want full sensor access.
  4. Wait for sensor warm-up. The startup animation plays once before the Dashboard opens.
  5. Open the gear → General, set Language to English, then press OK.
Settings General tab with English selected in Language and OK at the bottom
Choose English in General, then save with OK. Open the image for a closer look.

Enable full hardware sensing

CPU temperature, CPU package power and motherboard fan speeds may need the signed PawnIO driver. Momo carries its installer and offers it when the machine needs it.

  1. When Momo asks Turn on full hardware sensing?, select Install and reopen Momo.
  2. Let the installation finish. Windows does not need to restart; Momo reopens itself.
  3. If you chose Not now, open Settings → Monitoring & alerts → Full hardware sensing to try again later.
English Monitoring and alerts settings with primary GPU and sensor settings
Monitoring & alerts is also where you configure the primary GPU and thresholds. The sensing offer is conditional on the machine. Open the image for a closer look.

Update an existing copy

  1. Exit Momo from its tray menu before replacing files.
  2. Back up the complete existing folder, including momo-data.
  3. Extract the new package. Keep your existing data together with the new executable; do not replace populated data with an empty folder.
  4. Run the new version and check the version in Settings, the data location, and hardware preferences.

Remove Momo

First disable Settings → General → Start with Windows and press OK. Exit Momo, then remove the application folder. Save a copy of momo-data if you want to retain history. The optional sensor driver is installed on the PC separately from the portable folder.
