In their own words
HYTE Nexus
HYTE Nexus brings PC monitoring, cooling controls, RGB lighting and panel displays together in one app. It shows live CPU, GPU, RAM, network, disk, fan and temperature readings, with historical sensor graphs. Users can build fan and pump curves from temperature sensors or select Silent, Balanced or Turbo presets. Its GPU-rendered lighting engine includes more than 75 shader effects, plus screen, audio and game synchronization. Nexus also checks storage, memory, GPU and cooling health, and records per-game frame-rate history on Windows. A phone can pair with a PC by QR code for remote monitoring, lighting and controls; the relay connection is end-to-end encrypted. The app can work offline without an account, and optional anonymous telemetry can be disabled. Profile sync is optional and stores up to five profiles of 512 KB each. Nexus supports selected devices through first-party drivers and broader third-party RGB support through a bundled headless OpenRGB build. It is free, open source under AGPL-3.0, and available for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows, with some platform exclusions.
