PCWattVault shows what your Windows PC costs in electricity, live and over months. It reads your hardware's power sensors (or a smart plug at the wall, or a laptop's own battery), prices every watt-hour with your real tariff (day/night, tiers, any currency) and keeps a local history with month-end forecasts. See which apps and parts draw the power, and why a spike happened. New in 1.1: an always-on-top mini window. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Free.

Could you build this?
Yes A Windows desktop app that reads hardware power sensors, applies tariff math, and stores local history is well within reach of AI-assisted coding using existing sensor libraries and standard UI frameworks.
