Glow is a system analysis software created by Eray Türkay. It provides a user-friendly way to view your computer’s hardware and software specifications. With its simple and intuitive interface, even those unfamiliar with computers can easily learn detailed information about their system.
No system information is transferred to any external medium, ensuring complete security. It is programmed solely with C# and the .NET Framework, without any external libraries or dependencies.
The best part is that it offers features that other programs charge for, all completely free.
