I'm using HFM at the moment, are there any better than that?

Hfm is used by many of the testers ... I have seen output from folders bespoke systems on Discord which are tailored by them for exact what they want - some may be happy to share what they have done ... I personally use a very light weight android app to monitor my rigs that was written by another folder and meets my needs (folding@home monitor)

I'm looking for something like HFM but with more information and more preference adjustments. where did you see them being discussed in Doscord?

BWG has some kind of interface used to monitor rigs ... recently saw it monitoring BWGs rigs at over 100m ppd ... there is an api that you can use for control/monitoring but if you want something to do precisely what you want you may have to code it yourself ... other people's setups will do what they want - it wouldn't surprise me to find for most people it is about monitoring not control

The hfm developer is still active on forums (hfm has its own sub forum) so you can request functionality and see if the dev is willing to incorporate it .. to the best of my knowledge all these interfaces are basically enthusiast created and maintained and so changes only happen if they want them to .

Turns out that BWG may use hfm for data collection and/or monitoring/management

I have asked for two improvements on HFM.

Where do I find BWG?

Those look nice. The first one links to the project like I wanted. But I also want something which will show me the timeout as a time from now instead of a date. That makes it quicker to glance at them all and see if everything will be on time, aswell as knowing how long each will take.

The timeout is shown in the coloured bar below progress bar. You can also leave the mouse on the progress bar to get it in a tool tip.

The tool is available here : https://sourceforge.net/projects/fah-web-monitor/

So how do I run that? It looks like Linux files or something for a web server. I'm using Windows 11.

Yes, it's a web application, so you need to host it on a server.

Probably not willing to set up a web server. Is there a free server I can put that on? Not sure if free servers accept programs. Or a VERY easy to set up server that run on Windows 11?
