I built a privacy‑first, cross‑platform hardware information tool in Rust

Описание и применение

MyHardwareInfo — кроссплатформенное приложение на Rust, собирающее информацию о железе локально и защищающее конфиденциальность, удаляя идентифицирующие данные по умолчанию.

Задача

Existing hardware inspection tools expose sensitive data and often rely on cloud services or telemetry, compromising privacy.

Результат

MyHardwareInfo delivers a cross‑platform, privacy‑first hardware inspection tool that runs locally, redacts sensitive data by default, and avoids requiring elevated privileges.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Build or download the app for the target OS.
• 2. Launch MyHardwareInfo; it collects data in background workers.
• 3. View hardware categories (CPU, GPU, Memory, etc.).
• 4. Optionally refresh with F5 or Alt+R.
• 5. Generate TXT or JSON reports; identifying fields are redacted unless opted in.
• 6. Share reports safely or copy values directly.

Доказательства

MyHardwareInfo is a native desktop application that collects hardware and operating system information and presents it through a simple graphical interface.

Источник

The application has: No accounts. No telemetry. No analytics. No update checks. No uploads.

Источник

Reports are redacted by default. The user has to explicitly opt in if they want those identifiers included in the Full Report.
