AppReadWriteCounter 1.43 by NirSoft is a lightweight system-monitoring utility designed for Windows administrators and power users who need to observe real-time file I/O activity generated by individual applications. Unlike conventional per-process monitors, the program aggregates data at the application level, so multiple instances of the same executable are presented as a single entry whose cumulative read and write statistics are continuously updated. The tabular interface immediately lists every active program that touches the disk, showing the total bytes and operation counts read and written, the momentary transfer speed, plus metadata such as product name and version string. Because the counters persist even after an application is closed and later relaunched, long-term trending and comparative analysis are possible without manual log correlation. Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+X and Ctrl+R provide quick list clearing and selective counter reset, enabling users to start fresh benchmarks on demand. Typical use cases include identifying unexpectedly disk-intensive programs during troubleshooting, verifying the efficiency of newly installed software, auditing background services that may contribute to system slowdown, and confirming that portable or sandboxed tools remain within expected storage thresholds. The single-version release, 1.43, remains current and is distributed as freeware. AppReadWriteCounter is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
