Network

Start or stop a background logger that checks your router, Cloudflare, Google DNS and Google every 5 seconds and writes a CSV log. Show summary reports lost replies, latency, jitter, roaming between boxes and link speed. Check now is a quick four-ping test.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi snapshot reads your connection: signal, band, channel, speed, and which box you are on. If you have a mesh, it lists each box and flags known trouble such as backhaul sharing a channel with devices. Rescan nearby asks the adapter for a fresh scan; it can cause one brief blip, so avoid it during a game or call.

Clip pipeline

Only appears when config.local.json points at the clip pipeline. Shows counts, starts an upload, lists or runs the Drive archive. The archive only copies and verifies; it never deletes.

Running tasks

Lists watched jobs and how long they have run. To watch something new, add one line to $script:TaskPatterns in TechTools.ps1.

Usage

Shows a saved Claude usage snapshot (5-hour and weekly limits) and buttons that open Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini in your normal browser. ChatGPT and Gemini offer no safe, sign-in-free way to read remaining usage, so TechTools does not scrape them.

Videos

A thumbnail viewer for a folder of clips, using the same thumbnails Windows Explorer makes. Browse to any folder; double-click plays in your default player. Shows the newest 150 and loads thumbnails a few at a time, so the window stays responsive.

Disk space

Live free space on each drive, a saved snapshot of cloud storage when available, and the three biggest files in your main folders. Those come from a cache with a last-inspected time, so the tab opens instantly. Rescan biggest files refreshes the cache in the background.

Help

Short glossary and the button that opens this viewer.
